Our micro hardness testing instrument - picodentor HM500 Light is an instrumented indentation tester/instrument which is user friendly and designed with high precision. It is used to measure nanome chanical properties like indentation modulus, indentation hardness, elastic modulus and creep. It is checked for quality as per the ISO 14577-1 and ASTM E 2546 standards. Furthermore, this picodentor HM500 Light is designed superbly with reduced positioning requirements and fixed configuration.
Design
The measuring head contains the intender which is generally a diamond pyramid with 136 ° plane angle.
It is checked for quality under DIN EN ISO 14577-2 standards.
Indenters with a diamond pyramid according to Berkovich or with hard metal spheres are available as well.
The controlled touchdown of the measuring head leads to a very small machine compliance.
The measurement of the indentation depth is carried out with a resolution in the picometer range.
The micro hardness determination is computer controlled, free of any subjective influence, and thus independent of the operator.
Features
Very simple operation
Excellent price/performance ratio: The achieved resolution and accuracy for the load and distance measurement is in the same range as that of instruments with a much higher purchasing price
Minimal sample preparation due to large working area and open layout
Measurements on dark surfaces without sample preparation
For simple specimen's geometries sufficient positioning accuracy of °m
Due to its granite design, the device is extremely dimensionally stable, has a very low thermal expansion and is excellently isolated against vibrations.
Additional vibration damping through closed measuring chamber and active anti-vibration table
Easy operation through the customizable WIN-HCU Software
Microhardness testing instrument - picodentor HM500 is checked for quality by our expert professionals as per the DIN EN ISO 14577-1 standards.
