This instrument is an indentation hardness tester. The test is fast, easy, and can be pressed to quickly test the hardness of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials, in accordance with the American standard ASTM B648. ASTM HD2583-07 "Test Method for Measuring Indentation Hardness of Hard Plastics by Barcol Hardness Tester" and GB/T 3854-2005 "Test Method for Buckel Hardness of Reinforced Plastics". It is mainly used to test the hardness of aluminum and aluminum alloys, and can also test the hardness of other soft metals and FRP products. It can test all kinds of oversized, ultra-wide and ultra-thick workpieces and assemblies, and test plates, strips, profiles, forgings, castings, etc.
The W-20 hardness tester is widely used in the aluminum processing industry and is suitable for most aluminum alloys. For 2024, 7075 and other grades of superduralumin alloy, W-B75 Wechsler hardness tester can be used, and Barcol hardness tester can also be used. A Barcol hardness tester should be used for pure aluminum, low-hardness aluminium alloys, particularly thick aluminium alloys, and other aluminum alloy workpieces that are inconvenient to use a Wechsler hardness tester.
Barcol hardness testers are generally used as a supplement to Wechsler hardness testers when testing pure aluminum, low-hardness aluminum alloys, and oversized, extra-thick materials.
·It is equipped with a bracket rotation positioning device
·The machine automatically converts hardness HW, HV, HB, HRE, HRF, HRB, HRH
·It has a maximum value holding function to record the maximum hardness value during the measurement
·It has an average value calculation function, which can calculate the average value of up to 29 sets of data
·Small size, light weight (550g), easy to carry
·Good stability, convenient calibration and high detection accuracy
·One-handed operation, no experience required, in any occasion, as long as the hand can be tested.
·The test range is wide, from very soft pure aluminum to particularly hard aluminum alloy, and the effective test range is equivalent to Brinell hardness 25~135HB.
·High sensitivity, Wechsler hardness tester only has 20 scales, while Barcol hardness tester has a test range of 0-100, with higher sensitivity
·No support required, suitable for testing oversized and oversized workpieces and assemblies
