Hardness Testers

Tinius Olsen introduces a new line of hardness testers including series of testers that cover Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Vickers, Micro Vickers, Brinell, and Knoop scales Read more...

Measuring how easily a mineral can be scratched, is the main purpose of a hardness tester. It is measured on the Mohs scale. This can also be defined as the relative resistance of a metal or other material to denting or bending, as well as scratching. Types include Rockwell (most common), Brinell and Vickers. Read more...

In the automotive industry paint coatings are used as protection from corrosion and external damage. These lacquers are exposed to environmental influences such as extreme temperature fluctuations or moisture and salt. Automotive coatings must exhibit a certain toughness to make them resistant to stone chips and scratches. This requires the right balances between hardness and elasticity. Read more...

Next generation of high precision user-friendly instrumented indentation instrument to measure nanomechanical properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, creep and much more of coatings and surfaces. Read more...

LECO's AMH43 Automatic Hardness Testing System features a patented visual method that allows you to position indents and patterns directly on an overview image of the parts as a single "panoptic view". Read more...

The Tru-Blue II, is the lowest priced US manufactured closed loop tester that meets ASTM E18, ISO 6508 specifications and NIST recommendations. Easy to use with intuitive control panel and no need for an initial on-site calibration or manufacturers assistance. SEE THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION Read more...

This special Multi Function Hardness test machine is capable of conducting a variety of tests. It uses Rockwell, Vickers or Knoop indenters and features programmable forces. The tester is equipped with an X-Y motion system to allow automatic specimen motion with repeatability +/- 0.5 micron. Read more...

The Newage® MT91 System is an automatic microhardness testing system that uses the Rockwell method for the hardness result. Hardness is measured based on the depth of penetration rather than using an optical system to determine hardness based on the impression diameter. The main advantages of the MT91 Series are its very fast test cycle coupled with its incredible test ac... Read more...

Force Ranges of 0–10 N or 0-100N Other capacities available up to 1,000N Force measurement accuracy of +/- 0.1% Conforms to BS1610 grade 1 or 0.5 Read more...

The Newage® 9000N Series makes a Brinell impression in conformance with the standard method for Brinell testing as described in ASTM E-10 and is typically used in in-line or at-line applications according to the customer's testing requirements. Read more...
