Brinell Hardness Tester with Hydraulics – HKB-3000

Brinell Hardness Tester with hydraulics is a specialized testing instrument used to determine the Brinell hardness of a material. It combines the principles of the Brinell hardness testing method with a hydraulic system for load application and control during the testing process. Machine designed with a hydraulic power pack and control circuit for effortless loading/ unloading operation. A dial gauge in front measures depth of ball penetration. This facilitates production testing with tolerance limits by comparison method. Hydraulically operated Brinell hardness tester is a testing device used to determine the Brinell hardness of a material. It applies a specific load on the material’s surface and measures the resulting indentation to determine its hardness.

Features

• Brinell Hardness Tester, Model: HKB-3000 is designed for Brinell hardness measurement steels and other ferrous materials and also on non ferrous materials like Brass, Bronze, Aluminum, etc. The material can be cast, forged or rolled and the shape can be flat, round or irregular.
• The actual load application system is of dead weight type combined with mechanical lever system. The supporting hydraulic system is for initial lifting of load before each test and damping the load application system for smooth application of load.
• A separate hydraulic power pack, positioned in the bottom part of the machine increases the machine stability.
• Our unique design of a floating lever system ensures high accuracy and dependability.

Key Aspects and Features

1. Load Application: The tester utilizes a hydraulic system to apply a controlled and precise load on the material’s surface. The hydraulic system ensures consistent and accurate load application, which is essential for obtaining reliable hardness measurements.
2. Hydraulic Pressure Control: The tester incorporates hydraulic pressure control mechanisms to adjust and maintain the desired load during the testing process. This allows for precise control of the applied load, ensuring accurate hardness measurements.
3. Load Range: Brinell Hardness Testers with hydraulics typically offer a wide range of load options, allowing for testing different materials with varying hardness levels. The load capacity can be adjusted as per the specific requirements of the material being tested.
4. Indenter and Indentation: A hardened steel or carbide ball indenter is used to create an indentation on the material’s surface. The hydraulic system ensures a consistent and controlled application of the load to produce a properly defined indentation.
5. Optical Measurement System: After the load is removed, an optical measurement system is employed to measure the diameter of the indentation accurately. This measurement is then used to calculate the Brinell hardness value of the material.
6. Robust Construction: Brinell Hardness Testers with hydraulics are typically designed with a sturdy construction to withstand the high loads and pressures involved in the testing process. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the testing instrument.
7. Application Flexibility: These testers are capable of testing a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, and various industrial components. They find applications in manufacturing, quality control, research, and material characterization processes.
