Description
Optical Brinell Hardness Tester is an optical hardness tester and hydraulic operation with 14X magnification optical device provided in front to project the diameter of ball impression on an optical device with a micrometer measuring system of 0.01mm least count. The load application system is of dead weight type combined with a mechanical lever system. The supporting hydraulic system is for the initial lifting of load before each test & damping the load application system for smooth application of load. This is suitable for foundries forging shops, heat treatment shops, engineering institutions etc. Optical Brinell Hardness Tester is a widely used method to determine the hardness of materials, especially metals. It involves pressing a spherical indenter, typically made of hardened steel or tungsten carbide, into the surface of the material under a specific load. The indentation diameter is then measured optically, and the Brinell Hardness value is calculated based on the load applied and the indentation’s diameter.
An “Optical Brinell Hardness Tester” might refer to a Brinell Hardness Tester equipped with an optical system for automated measurement and analysis of the indentation. These testers use optical devices, such as cameras and image analysis software, to measure the indentation diameter quickly and precisely. This automation significantly reduces operator subjectivity and enhances testing efficiency. The optical measurement system in these testers typically captures images of the indentation and calculates the Brinell Hardness value based on the indentation’s diameter, as per the Brinell hardness formula. The results can be displayed digitally, stored electronically, and integrated into quality control systems.
Key Features
- Increased Accuracy: The optical system provides more accurate and repeatable measurements compared to manual methods.
- Faster Testing: Automation reduces testing time, making it more efficient for high-volume testing.
- Data Recording and Analysis: Test results can be digitally stored and analyzed, facilitating data management and quality control processes.
- Reduced Operator Fatigue: Automation reduces operator fatigue and the potential for human errors.
