BRINELL – Hardness Testers

The Brinell scale characterizes the indentation hardness of materials through the scale penetration of an indenter, loaded on a material test-piece.

Tinius Olsen has many types of hardness testers available that can rapidly and accurately determine the hardness value of a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, large parts and small precision parts.

Whether you need bench-mounted testers, large-scale floor-mounted testers or dedicated testers that are integrated into your production lines, we can help you with your application.

The model Evotech 4010 is a quality Brinell testing system in a robust, rigid frame. It integrates a precision optical system with high quality objectives and a digital display and offers conversion to other hardness scales and online statistics, as well as USB, LAN, W-LAN, RS232 data output. The system controls are managed via a simple-to-use 6.5” full color industrial touch screen, which will also display results and statistics.

Features and Benefits

  • Load cell, closed loop, force control
  • Load range 62.5-3000kgf (613N-29kN)
  • Meets or exceeds ISO, ASTM and JIS standards
  • 6.5” full-color industrial touch screen
  • Simultaneous conversion to Rockwell, Vickers and Leeb rebound testing
  • Brinell digital scanner (CCD camera) for automatic indent measurement
  • Horizon high performance PC-based camera indent measuring system. Automatic measurement of the indent on the industrial touch screen. Archive file, handle images and data on the tester or your network
