KING Brinell Hardness Tester

KING Brinell Hardness Tester

The world's most accurate, durable, and portable Hardness Tester

Overview

The King Portable Brinell Hardness Tester is the most reliable, user-friendly and affordable portable Brinell tester and the ONLY portable Brinell tester on the market that is calibrated and certified per ASTM E-10 standards. Versatile enough to test virtually any size and shape of metal specimen, these testers are easy to use. 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.

Features

Accurate

  • Manufactured to the most exact tolerance, ensuring consistent and repeatable results
  • Calibrated to build, then release, a load of 3000 kgf of pressure
  • Permanent impression can be checked and rechecked
  • Has a 360° orientation and is self-aligning

Durable

  • Tungsten carbide ball certified for density and roundness
  • Stroke limiter for reduced operator error and provides consistent performance between operators
  • 1 yr. limited warranty
  • Calibration and service plans are available

Versatile

  • Versatility of testing positions, right side up, upside down, or sideways
  • Portability allows tester to be taken to part or have part taken to tester
  • Lightweight and easy to maneuver
  • Fully interchangeable with multiple bases
  • Only 1 operator required
  • Flat, dome and "V" anvils supplied as standard equipment

How It Works

The operator simply places the specimen between the anvil and the test head, cranks the test head down onto the specimen, locking the tester in place, closes the pressure release valve, and pumps the hydraulic lever until desired load is reached. The tester applies up to a 3,000 kg load on a 10mm ball, making the required 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 King's Deep Reading Microscope or their KingScan automatic Brinell microscope.
