Indentec has extended the testing specification of its ZHV30 and ZHV1/2 Vickers hardness testers to include additional scales.

Indentec has extended the testing specification of its ZHV30 and ZHV1/2 Vickers hardness testers to include additional scales.

In the case of the latest ZHV30 Combined Micro and Macro Vickers tester, the company has included the option to test using both Knoop and Brinell methods, making it one of the most flexible testers of its type on the market.

The capability of the ZHV1/2 Micro Vickers tester has been increased to include the option to perform Knoop tests.

The two instruments can be upgraded to remove operator influence during the indentation measurement process by adding a CCD camera and computer assisted measurement system software.

This provides automatic measurement and so reduces the uncertainty to a minimum.

Gauge R and R figures of less than 8% can be achieved irrespective of operator competence.

The addition of a motorised x-y table and autofocus options are possible, thus further increasing the machines' automation, flexibility and significantly reducing test time.

Appropriate International Brinell (ISO 6506 and ASTM E10) and the Knoop (ISO 4545) standards can be supplied.

UKAS accredited test blocks and diamond and ball indenters are available from Indentec for all existing hardness testing machines and are supplied with appropriate UKAS accredited traceable calibration certification.
