Vickers hardness tester HV-1000TPTA

benchtopfor thin sheet materialglass

Product Overview
This micro‑Vickers hardness tester (model HV-1000TPTA) is designed to meet GB/T 4340.2-2012, ISO 6507-2 and referenced ASTM standards. It integrates mechanical, optical and computer technologies with automatic objective and indenter switching, digital input of measured diagonal lengths, automatic hardness calculation, storage, display and printing. It is suitable for Vickers or Knoop hardness testing of small metal parts, thin sections, metal foils, surface‑hardened or coated layers (case‑hardened, electroplated, nitrided, carburized, cyanided) and non‑metallic specimens (jewelry, ceramics, glass) where small test forces are required. The instrument provides high testing accuracy, extensive automation and very small indents; it can also function as a metallographic microscope and — when equipped with a CCD camera and image‑processing software — as a networked image‑processing microhardness tester.

Notes
When connected to a computer with a compatible CCD camera and image‑processing software, the tester operates as an image‑processing microhardness system capable of capturing, processing and transmitting images and results over a network. Suitable for tiny samples, thin foils, coated or surface‑hardened layers and non‑metallic specimens requiring very small indents.
