Training required to use this instrument:
General Lab Safety Training (EHS 2555)

Indentation measuring modes include Vickers, Knoop and Brinell. Ideal for testing on a wide range of materials, including plating. Rigid construction minimizes compliance errors and an internal memory retains 999 tests. A highly stable load mechanism ensures accurate positioning and high repeatability. Once the load is selected automatic testing begins, including loading, holding and releasing, or highly magnified measurements. Upon completion the turret revolves automatically; switching position from the indenter to an optical microscope. Repositioning accuracy is <0.5 micron. The standard incorporated microscope includes X100 and X400 total magnifications. Loads range from 9 to 20000 millinewtons.
