ROCKWELL – Hardness Testers

The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The Rockwell test determines the hardness by measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load compared to the penetration made by a preload.

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 1010 combines today’s load application technology with a top class depth measuring system. Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell & Brinell scales are part of the machine’s capabilities. High accurate test results and fast operation make it the best in its class today. This model provides a smart user interface, easy to learn and with internal and external data storage options. Test forces range from 1-250kgf, which means that even this basic model is equipped with Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell and Brinell load settings. System control is managed via a simple-to-use 6.5” full color industrial touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display results and statistics.
