Hardness testers measure material hardness (metals, alloys, heat-treated parts) by applying a controlled load or impact to an indenter and evaluating penetration depth or indentation size. The result is converted to a hardness value used to verify strength, wear resistance, and process consistency.
Choose from portable and bench models, with methods such as Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers and Leeb, plus options for different indenters/balls, load ranges, and digital readout with data logging, from Insize & PCE Instruments.
Suitable for QC in machine shops, heat treatment and production; selection depends on test method, part thickness/geometry and required traceability.
