BrinGen – 3000 Series – Digital Brinell and Automatic Brinell Hardness Tester – Closed Loop System
Metal Testing Equipment
Standards
Description
BrinGen 3000 - Digital Brinell Hardness Tester is designed to test the resistance of a metal specimen for indentation. A fixed force (load) is applied against the specimen by an indenter to determine the material hardness. The smaller the indentation, the stronger the specimen is. According to the ASTM E-10 BrinGen - Digital Brinell Hardness Tester is commonly used on surfaces of materials that are too rough to be tested by any other test method. Learn all about the Brinell Hardness Testing System here.
The test load ranges are from 62.5kgf to 3000kfg. BrinGen 3000 Series - Digital Brinell Hardness Testing system is equipped with a closed loop system for the absolute highest accuracy load control. Closed loop driven system provides precise control of test force application.
BrinGen 3000 Series - Digital Brinell Hardness Testing systems are standalone units that can easily be upgraded to include the NG-Scope - Brinell Hardness Image Automatic Measuring system - for the most accurate results through an optical Analysis Software.
