Hardness testers are inspection instruments used to quantify material hardness (metals, alloys, heat-treated parts) by indentation or rebound methods. The hardness value is derived from indentation depth/size or impact response and is used for quality control and compliance to specifications.
Choose from portable and bench models for Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Shore and Leeb scales, with options for different indenters, test loads, resolution, and data storage/transfer. Available from Insize, Mitutoyo & PCE.
Suitable for machine shops, heat-treatment lines and incoming inspection; key selection factors include the required scale, measuring range and reliable on-site testing.
