Picodentor Hm500 Instrumented Indentation Tester

We are engaged in offering excellent quality Picodentor HM500 Instrumented Indentation Tester to our valuable clients. PICODENTOR HM500 utilizes the load/indentation depth method according to DIN EN ISO 14577-1. With this method, the indenter a typically a Vickers or Berkovich pyramid a is continuously pressed into the material tested with an increasing test load, and then unloaded. The respective indentation depth is measured at the same time. Taking into account the geometric relationship between the indentation depth and the shape of the indenter, this measurement results in the Martens hardness HM. Additional important characteristic material quantities can be obtained from the resultant loading / unloading cycle. Hardness measurement range is 0.001 bis 1,20,000 Newton per square millimeter. Following Material characteristics are computed according to ISO 14577-1;
a c Martens hardness HM
a c Indentation hardness HIT (convertible to HV)
a c Modulus of indentation EIT
a c Indentation creep CIT
a c Percent elastic portion A IT of the indentation work Welast/Wtotal
a c Additional quantities such as Martens hardness at a certain test load, portion of plastic deformation, etc.
