Efficient Hardness Testing for Metals and AlloysThis Brinell Hardness Tester ensures precise and repeatable measurements for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its dead weight system provides consistent loading while the optical eyepiece allows straightforward impression diameter measurement. The robust construction and powder-coated finish guarantee durability for heavy usage in demanding environments.
User-Friendly Design and OperationThe tester operates via a hand lever system, making it simple to apply the desired load. Key features include an adjustable dwell time (10-15 seconds), standard accessories such as test blocks and anvils, and a clear analog scale for direct hardness value readings. Its bench-top mounting style and approximate 450 kg weight deliver stable and secure testing.
Compliance and VersatilityManufactured in line with IS: 2281, BS: 240, and ASTM: E10 standards, the tester offers a broad measuring range of 100-650 HBW and resolution of 0.1 HBW. It is suitable for various industrial sectors as a laboratory or workshop tool, supporting dealers, exporters, and manufacturers across India.
FAQ's of Brinell Hardness Tester:
Q: How does the Brinell Hardness Tester measure hardness in metals?
A: The Brinell Hardness Tester applies a controlled dead weight force using a 10 mm ball indenter onto the metal surface. The diameter of the resulting impression is measured optically through an eyepiece, and the hardness value (HBW) is determined according to recognized standards.
Q: What is the process to conduct a hardness test using this machine?
A: The process involves placing the specimen on the anvil, selecting and applying the desired load via the hand lever, and allowing the load to dwell for 10-15 seconds. The impression diameter is then measured using the provided eyepiece, and the hardness value is read directly from the scale.
Q: Where is this Brinell Hardness Tester most effectively used?
A: This tester is ideal for usage in laboratories, workshops, research centers, and production facilities where accurate hardness assessment of metals and alloys is required. Its bench-top design ensures stability during operation.
Q: When should the dwell time be adjusted and how does it affect testing?
A: The dwell time, adjustable between 10 and 15 seconds, should be set according to material hardness and testing standards. Proper dwell time ensures accurate impression formation, affecting measurement precision and reliability.
Q: What are the benefits of using this Brinell Hardness Tester?
A: Key benefits include its sturdy construction for longevity, precise calibrated results, easy load selection, dual manual/automatic control options, and full compliance with international standards. It supports a wide measuring range and delivers immediate results with high accuracy.
Q: How do I maintain the accuracy and longevity of the tester?
A: Regular calibration, cleaning after use, and storage in suitable environmental conditions (humidity 85% RH, temperature 10C-35C) help maintain accuracy. All moving parts should be kept dust-free, and the indenter and anvils inspected for wear.
Q: What standard accessories are provided with the machine?
A: The tester is supplied with test blocks, a flat anvil, a V anvil, a ball holder, and a comprehensive instruction manual to facilitate efficient setup and operation.
