Hardness Tester - King Brinell Hardness Tester
Best Application:
Brinell hardness tester for metallic materials.
Summary
On the market for over 70 years, King Brinell hardness testers are lightweight, easy to maneuver and require only one operator, making them ideal for use as portable or bench units.
Theory
This test method includes requirements for the use of portable Brinell hardness testing machines that measure Brinell hardness by the Brinell hardness test principle and can meet the requirements of this test method, including the direct and indirect verifications of the testing machine.
Application
These testers are versatile and can be used to test metal specimens of nearly any size or shape. They are simple to operate: the user places the specimen between the anvil and test head, then lowers the test head onto the specimen, securing the tester in place. Next, the pressure release valve is closed, and the hydraulic lever is pulled until the desired load is reached.
The tester applies up to a 3,000 kg load on a 10mm ball, making a lasting impression, which is available for re-reading at any time. A by-pass valve is automatically activated at the calibrated load, eliminating the chance of overloading.
The impression is then read and recorded by the operator using a Brinell microscope such as "Deep reading microscope" or KingScan®IV automatic Brinell microscope. This portable Brinell hardness tester meets all international standards for Brinell testing including ASTM E-110, British Standard #240, Pt.2, Sect.1 and JIS Standards, and is calibrated to 1/2 of 1% of load on equipment traceable to NIST Standards.
