Rockwell Hardness Testers
AFFRI hardness testers measure hardness using the Rockwell scale by applying a specific load to the material and determining the depth of the indentation. These machines offer high accuracy and resolution, making them ideal for testing metals and alloys in both laboratory and industrial environments.
Brinell Hardness Testers
For the Brinell scale, AFFRI testers measure the hardness of materials by applying a large force with a hardened steel or carbide ball indenter. The size of the indentation left on the material is used to calculate its hardness. Brinell hardness testers are commonly used for testing softer metals and materials with coarse or uneven surfaces.
Vickers Hardness Testers
AFFRI Vickers hardness testers use a diamond indenter to apply force on the material, and the size of the resulting indentation is measured to calculate hardness. This method provides a high degree of precision, making it suitable for testing thin materials, small parts, or materials with varying hardness.
Universal Hardness Testers
Universal hardness testers from AFFRI are versatile machines capable of performing multiple hardness tests, including Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell. They are designed to handle a wide range of materials and testing conditions, providing flexibility and efficiency in both research and industrial settings.
Portable Hardness Testers
AFFRI's portable hardness testers offer the ability to perform hardness tests directly on large or immovable components without the need for cutting or disassembling parts. These testers are designed to be lightweight, easy to handle, and capable of delivering reliable results in field conditions or production lines.
Shore and IRHD Hardness Testers
AFFRI hardness testers for rubber and plastic materials are designed to provide precise measurements using a complete range of testing loads that conform to ASTM E2240, ASTM D1415, ASTM D1414, and ISO 7619, ISO 48, and ISO 868 standards.
