Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester

Introduction

A combined Brinell and Rockwell hardness tester measures material hardness using two standardized methods. It is widely used in metallurgy. The system ensures comprehensive hardness evaluation. It solves limitations of single-method testing. By integrating dual systems, it supports material quality control.

Standards

ISO 6506-1-Metallic materials-Brinell hardness test-Test method

ASTM E18-Standard Test Methods for Rockwell Hardness of Metallic Materials

ASTM E10-Standard Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic Materials

ISO 6508-1:2015-Metallic materials-Rockwell hardness test-Test method

Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.

Features

1. Simple operation reduces training and test time.

2. Data storage and export support inspection reports.

3. Sturdy frame and precise indenter ensure consistent results.

4. Choice of scale or method suits the material and hardness range.

5. Clear display or scale gives direct, repeatable readings.

FAQ

What is the Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester mainly used for?

The Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester is used to measure the hardness of materials such as metals, rubber, plastics, foams or coatings. It supports material verification, heat-treatment checks and quality control in manufacturing and inspection.

What standards does the Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester comply with?

The tester is designed with reference to applicable ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards for the relevant hardness scale and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Procedures must follow the specified standard method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.

What does the warranty cover?

The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.

Will staff need special training?

Routine operation is straightforward and is covered in the user manual, including setup, daily use and basic maintenance. Staff with basic laboratory experience can run it after a short familiarisation. We provide remote guidance and can arrange on-site training where required.

How long does delivery usually take?

Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.

Is calibration included?

To protect result reliability, periodic verification should be performed, typically once or twice a year. The instrument arrives factory-calibrated, and self-check routines help spot drift. We offer traceable calibration service if the site needs it.

Are the consumables universal or proprietary?

Filters, seals, probes and similar items are standard and can be supplied through our channel. Customers may also source equivalent items that meet the specification. Provide the model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Can the Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester be customised?

A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.

Do you provide on-site installation?

Standard installation is straightforward and supported by the manual and start-up documentation. Our technical team can guide staff remotely through checks and validation. On-site commissioning is available as a quoted service.

What should be avoided when using the Brinell and Rockwell Hardness Tester?

Do not test on curved, thin or poorly prepared surfaces, use the wrong scale or exceed the instrument range. Verify on reference blocks. Follow the operating instructions.
