TestCoat's High-Quality Hardness Tester

To assess the hardness of a material, the Rockwell Hardness Test is conducted which is a non-destructive test. It is a patented test that is easier to perform and is considered more reliable. The resistance of a material to permanent indentation is known as its hardness. There are standard Rockwell Hardness test procedures that need to be followed, and anybody who wants to conduct a Rockwell Hardness test should know such protocols depending on the type of material they are testing.

A digital Rockwell hardness testing system is a device that’s programmed to measure the hardness of materials. Online retailers such as TestCoat offer a wide range of high-quality hardness testers. Portable hardness testers come with different material and object capacities. Since industrial equipment and specimens come in different sizes and shapes, digital Rockwell hardness testing systems can easily measure them as the testers sport tough and durable design and are easy to use. 

Choosing the right hardness tester

When choosing a portable metal hardness tester, make sure to check its design. The device should be capable of measuring oddly shaped objects and large heavy materials. However, for a digital Rockwell hardness testing system, you don't need to worry much about it.

The Rockwell hardness test is a simple process that is suitable for hardness testing on the go. You must first make preparations for the surface of the sample to be evaluated before conducting the Rockwell hardness test. The load used determines the appropriate surface condition for the hardness test. The Rockwell hardness test is often used for indentation loads of 1 kg and below. As a result, a flat surface is normally adequate, and no additional planning is necessary in some cases.

Digital Rockwell hardness testers can be used to precise test against the most common standard Rockwell hardness scales and easily translate that hardness rating into HV, HB, HK, and several other levels while measuring the hardness of steel, cast iron, and plastic materials. The ability to achieve an incredibly accurate measurement, a wide measurement range are all advantageous features one should look for in a portable Rockwell hardness tester. Other useful features one can check are a digital interface and strong software support.

A high-resolution display will help you get things done faster. There are many ways to implement the weight load, including using weights on digital devices or using a closed-loop load cell. When using a weight-loaded design, the machine's amount is critical in ensuring that the weights fall accordingly. When using a load cell device, this is a less important consideration. The load cell allows for more accuracy and consistency.

In most quality management methods, hardness checking is important. That's why retailers like TestCoat provide a comprehensive range of Rockwell hardness testing devices and systems, ranging from laboratory hardness testing instruments to high-performance portable metal hardness testers for large-scale manufacturing facilities. All of our Rockwell toughness testers were designed to have the long-term reliability that we are known for.
