Hardness Testing Machine: Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers | ITM-LAB
Comprehensive guide to hardness testing machines for material characterization. Covers Rockwell (ASTM E18, ISO 6508), Brinell (ASTM E10, ISO 6506), Vickers (ASTM E384, ISO 6507), and Shore durometer methods. Specifications include force accuracy ±1%, measurement resolution 0.1 HRC (digital systems).
Selection criteria by material: Rockwell for production steel testing, Brinell for castings and forgings, Vickers for case depth measurement and thin materials, microhardness for coatings <10μm. Applications cover heat treatment verification, weld HAZ testing, aerospace QC, and plastics manufacturing.
Maintenance includes daily verification with certified test blocks, annual calibration traceable to NIST/BAM. ITM-LAB manufactures ISO 9001 certified hardness testers with 27 years experience. Delivery 20-70 days. Includes calibration certificate, operator training, 2-year warranty.
