Common load overshoot or undershoot as known from traditional dead weight, or open-loop, systems is eliminated. Absence of mechanical weights not only eliminates friction problems but also makes the equipment less sensitive to misalignments caused by vibrations.

Features

• Test load is applied via a closed-loop control unit with load cell, DC motor and electronic measurement and control unit
• Accurate Brinell hardness measurements at all test loads up to 0.5%
• Common load overshoot or undershoot as known from traditional dead weight, or open-loop, systems is eliminated
• Absence of mechanical weights not only eliminates friction problems but also makes the equipment less sensitive to misalignments caused by vibrations
• Test load selection by keyboard and LCD screen
• Test cycle, load application, holding, unloading, is performed fully automatically, greatly improving reproducibility of test results since operator influence is eliminated
• Selectable dwell times by screen; indenter, load, and other test information are shown clearly on LCD screen
• Directions for 0.102F/D2 ratios selecting according to the materials and hardness range can be shown on the screen
• Equipped with a 20X optical microscope to measure the diameter of Brinell indention
• Brinell Hardness Calculator (BHC) make the hardness value calculation easier and convenient
