Shop Hardness Testers

MSI Viking proudly announces representation of Metkon. Metkon brings total preparation solutions in metallography. We cover the complete range of instruments and consumables for Metallographic Sample Preparation, from manual machines to sophisticated microprocessor-controlled preparation systems.

Advanced materials such as high-tech metal alloys, ceramics, composites and polymers have appeared which made metallography become an increasingly vital part of modern industry. 

MSI Viking is proud to announce representation of INNOVATEST. New to the United States, this highly respected brand of advanced hardness testing machines incorporate load cell closed loop technology. This sophisticated load application system is far superior to dead weight systems, but also superior to other electronic force application systems that do not incorporate force feedback control. The force feedback system is the ultimate guarantee that no force "overshoot" takes place during the entire testing procedure. Without force feedback control, electronic/deadweight systems could provide more force than allowed and eventually create incorrect hardness readings. 

INNOVATEST hardness machines meet or exceed ISO, ASTM and JIS standards, including the new ASTM E18-19.
