Fischerscope HM2000 S is a modern Microhardness Testing Machine or nanoindentation gauging instrument used for finding the martens hardness HM, particular elastic quantities, the indentation hardness, the indentation modulus as well as supplementary material factors. This fischerscope Microhardness Testing device HM2000 S is tested according to ISO 14577-1 as well as ASTM E 2546 standards. In addition, it also measures the factors in nanometer and micro range.
Design
- Available with a measuring head HT2000 that contains the test load generating unit, the position measurement unit and the indenter that is ideal for measuring indentation depth and whole electronic system.
- HM2000 S can be upgraded with a programmable positioning aid.
