Sensor Load Motorized Brinell Hardness Machine Max Force 3000Kgf / Range 8 - 653HBW

Sensor Loading Motorized Brinell Hardness Testing Machine with Max Force 3000Kgf

Brief Introduction:

iBrin-410E Electronic Brinell hardness tester is a unified product combining the precise mechanical structure and the load cell control system.

The instrument adopts the motorized test force application without weights, and uses 0.5‰ accuracy compression sensor to feedback and the CPU control system to automatically compensate the test force lost during the test.

The test force and dwell time can be directly set on the keyboard with reliable repeatability, precise reading and easy operation. It can be equipped with V1.0 Brinell image automatic measuring system.

Application range:

Suitable for cast iron, steel products, nonferrous metals and soft alloys etc. Also suitable for some nonmetal materials such as rigid plastics and bakelite etc.

Principle of Brinell Test

The Brinell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a 10 mm diameter hardened carbide ball subjected to a load of 3000 kg. For softer materials the load can be reduced to 1500 kg or 500 kg to avoid excessive indentation.

The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds in the case of iron and steel and for at least 30 seconds in the case of other metals. The diameter of the indentation left in the test material is measured with a low powered microscope. The Brinell harness number is calculated by dividing the load applied by the surface area of the indentation.

The diameter of the impression is the average of two readings at right angles and the use of a Brinell hardness number table can simplify the determination of the Brinell hardness. A well structured Brinell hardness number reveals the test conditions, and looks like this, "75 HB 10/500/30" which means that a Brinell Hardness of 75 was obtained using a 10mm diameter hardened steel with a 500 kilogram load applied for a period of 30 seconds.

On tests of extremely hard metals a tungsten carbide ball is substituted for the steel ball. Compared to the other hardness test methods, the Brinell ball makes the deepest and widest indentation, so the test averages the hardness over a wider amount of material, which will more accurately account for multiple grain structures and any irregularities in the uniformity of the material. This method is the best for achieving the bulk or macro-hardness of a material, particularly those materials with heterogeneous structures.
