Vickers hardness tester HV series

benchtopglassfor ceramics

Product Overview
The HV-5/10/30/50TPTA series integrates mechanical, optical and computer subsystems for Vickers hardness testing. Models HV-5TPTA, HV-10TPTA, HV-30TPTA and HV-50TPTA cover test-force ranges from 1.961 N up to 490.3 N and are suitable for thin metal parts, foils, wires, coatings, nitrided layers and non-metallic materials such as glass, jewelry and ceramics. The instrument supports automated load cycles, manual micrometer-eyepiece indentation measurement, and multiple communication interfaces for data export and system integration.

Product Advantages

• Automation: automatic objective/indenter switching and automatic load-hold-unload sequences via motorized turret.
• Measurement and calculation: touch-screen input of indentation diagonal plus automatic hardness computation, counting and conversion routines.
• Data connectivity: built-in printer, RS‑232, Ethernet, USB and Bluetooth for numeric/character data transfer and integration with host software or MES.
• Optical system: dual optical channel with objective options (10×/20×/40×) and 10× eyepiece, measurement magnifications up to 400× depending on configuration.
• Multilingual operation: user interface supports multiple languages to facilitate use in laboratories and production environments.
