VICKERS HARDNESS TESTER
INNOVATEST offers a line of Vickers hardness testers designed for unparalleled accuracy and reliability in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
Vickers hardness testing, a widely used method for determining material hardness, involves indenting a material’s surface with a diamond pyramid indenter under a specific force, then measuring the resulting indentation. The Vickers Hardness Number (HV) is calculated from the applied load and the diagonal length of this indentation. This versatile technique is applicable to a broad range of materials—including metals, ceramics, and composites—and is suitable for both micro and macro hardness testing.
