The low-maintenance design holds up in challenging environments, under humidity and temperature fluctuations.
FAQ's of Industrial Brinell Hardness Tester:
Q: How does the Brinell Hardness Tester apply force to the specimen?
A: The tester utilizes a dead weight system to apply loads directly through a tungsten carbide ball indenter. You can select from multiple load options-500 kgf, 750 kgf, 1000 kgf, 1500 kgf, or 3000 kgf-depending on the material's testing requirements.
Q: What types and sizes of speciments can be tested with this machine?
A: This Brinell Hardness Tester accommodates single specimens at a time, ranging in thickness from 2 mm to 300 mm and up to 200 mm wide. It is designed for metals and alloys, suitable for various manufacturing and laboratory applications.
Q: When is the dwell time adjusted, and what is its significance?
A: Dwell time is set between 10 and 15 seconds to allow the load to be maintained on the specimen for optimal indentation. Adjusting this parameter ensures accurate results by minimizing rebound effects in different materials.
Q: Where is this equipment typically installed and used?
A: This Brinell Hardness Tester is floor-mounted and commonly deployed in industrial environments such as metalworking plants, laboratories, and quality control centers, where reliable hardness assessment is essential.
Q: What is the testing process for measuring hardness?
A: First, clamp the specimen mechanically and select the required indenter and load. The tester then performs the indentation at a controlled speed, followed by immediate measurement using the included Brinell microscope, ensuring precise and repeatable results.
Q: How does overload protection benefit users?
A: Overload protection safeguards the machine's components and ensures operator safety by preventing excess force during testing, thus enhancing equipment longevity and reliability.
Q: What maintenance is required for this Brinell Hardness Tester?
A: Maintenance needs are minimal due to the robust construction and powder-coated finish. Routine cleaning, regular calibration with provided test blocks, and periodic checks of moving parts support ongoing precision and long service life.
