Description
The machine performs Rockwell or superficial Rockwell hardness tests in accordance with established specifi cations, including BS EN ISO 6508:1999 and ASTM E18. The machine is supplied with a diamond cone indenter and a 1/16” diameter ball indenter, as standard. The machine is provided with a four-digit LED display. It is used to display measured hardness results, to monitor the progress of the test and to display derived statistical data. This an industrial instrument and if used in accordance with the following instructions, and given reasonable care and attention, it will maintain accurate and reliable hardness scales.
