Ball indentation hardness / Rockwell hardness
Modular measuring device with digital unit for the assessment of ball pressure or Rockwell hardness, on carbon and graphite materials, metals, polymers, building materials, floor coverings or asphalt.
The 3106 testing device has a very variable use, being suitable for the determination of ball indentation or Rockwell hardness on different materials. According to the previously-installed module, the 3106 calculates the hardness of metals, carbon materials, plastics, plaster, gypsum, floor coverings or asphalt, according to the corresponding standard. Different indenters and load weights are available, matching both the material and test method. The initial load is applied to the test specimen using the knurled wheel, while the main load is lowered through the use of the hand lever. The integrated oil brake guarantees that the indenter touches the specimen in a gentle manner. The electronic unit determines the different penetration depths, as well as the material hardness.
