The importance of accurate hardness testing cannot be ignored in industries requiring both strength and durability. When working with very small surface areas, such as a 2.5mm ball indentation in Brinell hardness testing, achieving high accuracy is a key component of the procedure. However, this level of precision can be challenging without the right toolset, often leading to inconsistencies and human errors.
Human error is a common problem in Brinell hardness testing, affecting accuracy and reliability. Imagine the significant impact on your organization’s testing process if you had a tool capable of completely removing these errors. Such a tool would not only increase the reliability of your tests but also increase confidence in your measurements, leading to better quality control and product integrity.
Now, think of a tool that allows you to see these results in real time, reducing waiting time and the potential for errors even further. Additionally, this tool offers these benefits with minimal training required, thanks to its design and built-in ease of use. This means that even operators with less experience can achieve precise and consistent results effortlessly.
Meet the BrinGen 3000 Series, an optically advanced CCD measuring scope specifically designed to eliminate human error in Brinell hardness tests. This innovative tool delivers reliable, accurate, and repeatable results, making it an indispensable addition to your testing equipment. In this article, we will provide you with the necessary information about this tool, the precision and affordable solution you have been looking for.
What is the BrinGen 3000 Series?
The BrinGen 3000 Series is a state-of-the-art digital and automatic Brinell hardness tester, specifically designed to measure metal specimen resistance to indentation. By using a fixed force (load) applied by an indenter, our product determines the material’s hardness based on the size of the indentation – the smaller the indentation, the stronger the specimen. This system is particularly effective on surfaces too rough for other testing methods, aligning with ASTM E-10 standards.
The BrinGen – Brinell Hardness Tester offers a broad test load range from 62.5kgf to 3000kgf, giving it flexibility in meeting different testing needs. It is equipped with a closed-loop system that guarantees the highest load control accuracy, providing precise control over test force applications. Additionally, these standalone units can be easily upgraded to include the NG-Scope – Brinell Hardness Image Automatic Measuring system, which delivers the most accurate results through advanced optical analysis software.
