Vickers hardness tester HV-1000SPTA

Knoop/Vickersmicro Vickersbenchtop

Product overview
This micro‑Vickers hardness tester (models HV-1000SPTA / SPA / STA / SA) is designed to meet GB/T 4340.2-2012, ISO 6507-2 and ASTM standards. It integrates mechanical, optical and computer technologies to perform automatic force control, objective/indenter switching, hardness calculation, data storage, display and printing. It supports Vickers and Knoop testing on small metallic parts, thin sections, foils, surface-hardened layers and non-metallic samples such as jewelry, ceramics and glass.
