Available Methods and Accessories
- 15 – 60 kg force load
- Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers indenter tips
Sample Requirements
Less than 8 inches width and 9.5 inches height
Summary of Technique
Samples are pressed with an indenter tip at a certain load force for a discrete length of time. The difference in load applied and unloaded is recorded as the hardness value.
Information Provided & Detection Limits
Information on hardness across a sample, average hardness, and fracture toughness
