Within the hardness measurement laboratories, we perform evaluations according to Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell methods.  We have both purely mechanical instruments with manual reading of impression sizes and semi-automatic instruments with automatic reading and digital output. In addition to normal loads, the semi-automatic instruments are capable of measuring microhardness to the relevant standards up to a minimum load of 1 gram.

Instrumentation equipment:

  • Automatic hardness tester Emcotest urascan 70 G (from HV 0,001 to HV 50, HBW 62,5)
  • Semi-automatic hardness tester LECO AMH-200 (HV 0,01 to HV 1)
  • Manual hardness testers for high loads (up to 250kg) with HV and HBW indenter
