Rockwell Testers

ndentron® Series Rockwell Hardness Testers

The Indentron® Series hardness testers feature an innovative cantilevered indenter configuration that eliminates frictional inconsistencies typical of competitive testing systems. These systems comply with ASTM E-18. Using precision dead weights, the INDENTRON system ensures precise, accurate and repeatable measurements. The dead weights are used for both the major load and the preload. Automation in the timing, reduces the variation introduced by the flow of the material under load. If the operator inadvertently over loads or under loads the preload, the INDENTRON system prevents the test from being performed.

Versitron® Series Rockwell Hardness Testers

The VERSITRON® Series is a top-loading tester with our exclusive test surface referencing feature, that applies the preload and full load through the test head. These systems comply with ASTM E-18. The preload is not applied through the elevating screw. In fact, the entire load system is modular and self-contained within the test head. With a single pull of a lever, the operator can perform an entire test cycle—applying both the preload and full load and obtained results in as little as 4 seconds. Operator influence on the test is negligible. Motor-drive systems are even easier using a footswitch or push button.
