Portable hardness tester

Its so easy! You see the size of the indentation increase as you press the diamond into the material. When the specified test load is reached, the image is frozen, the diagonals measured, and the hardness value calculated and displayed.

The benefits
The TIV hardness tester can be used regardless of the material – without any additional calibration. Confusing and lengthy calibration procedures are eliminated and there are no reference specimens to fabricate because the test load is applied statically and the resultant Vickers value is unaffected by the test material’s elastic properties. The TIV method is not limited to testing ferrous and nonferrous metals, but can be applied to other materials including plastics, glass, carbides, ceramics and a variety of coatings.
With the TIV you need access to only one side to measure thin parts such as metal in coil, sheet or foil form. Incoming inspection of material can be performed on the truck bed without cutting coupons.
Also, you receive the advantages you have come to expect from our proven line of other UCI and Rebound type portable hardness testers, e.g. direction independence, user friendly operation, full data
management capability, etc.
