Indentation hardness tester
TIV
GE Inspection Technologies
The TIV (Through Indenter Viewing) method is based on hardness testing according to Vickers; makes it possible to “see through” the Vickers diamond by means of special optics. The hardness is measured under load; as soon as the test load is reached, the image of the indentation is transferred and evaluated directly, automatically, and quickly.
Key Features & Benefits
Hardness Testing according to Vickers under test load
Through Indenter Viewing by means of special optics and a CCD camera
Direct checking and assessment of the quality of measurement by observing the growing indentation on the color display
Fully automatic evaluation of the Vickers indentation and determination of the diagonals without detour (via microscope)
Independent of test direction and test object's material
Measurement range from approximately 30HV to more than 1000HV (depending on probe)
Clearly arranged data memory for convenient and structured saving of the test results. Test series can be recalled and edited.
Easy Operation
Three main menus make it easier for you to access the most important instrument functions – and you’ll always reach your destination by just a few ”screen clicks”. Do you want to see your test series as a curve, histogram, or statistics? A click is all it takes. The conversion is just as easy for you by selecting another hardness scale. In the menu ”Data”, you can store your results plus image of the indentation in an easy and straightforward way.
