FAQs of Rockwell Hardness Tester:
Q: How does the Rockwell Hardness Tester ensure measurement accuracy?
A: The Rockwell Hardness Tester achieves high accuracy (1.5 HRC) by calibrating each unit with a standard test block. Its mechanical dial gauge enables precise readings with a resolution of 0.5 HRC, supporting reliable industrial and laboratory testing.
Q: What types of indenters can be used with this machine?
A: This tester supports both diamond and steel ball indenters, allowing measurement on various metallic materials according to Rockwell A, B, and C scales.
Q: When should the test blocks be used for calibration?
A: Standard test blocks should be used during initial setup, routine verification, and whenever recalibration is required, ensuring consistent compliance with IS 1586 / ASTM E18 standards.
Q: Where can this hardness tester be applied?
A: Due to its robust build and semi-automatic operation, the Rockwell Hardness Tester is ideal for industrial and laboratory environments including manufacturing plants, research facilities, and metal testing laboratories.
Q: What is the process for operating the Rockwell Hardness Tester?
A: To operate, place a single specimen (up to 230 mm height) on the stage, select the required indenter and test load, set the control mode to semi-automatic, and initiate the test. Immediate hardness readings are displayed on the mechanical dial gauge.
Q: How does overload protection benefit the user?
A: Overload protection prevents mechanical damage and enhances user safety by automatically restricting load application beyond maximum capacity during operation.
Q: What are the mounting and installation requirements?
A: This equipment is designed for table-top mounting and operates on 220V AC, 50 Hz. It should be installed in a clean environment maintaining humidity 85%% RH and temperature between 10C and 35C for optimal performance.
