indentors and easy-to-read dial indicators. Fingertip loading
provides precise tests. Flat, Vee and Convex Avils and 1/16" ball
Indentor are supplied as standard accessories.
,br>
The CPT has a vertical opening of 4 1/2" high by 2 1/4" deep and
weighs under 3 1/2 pounds. The CPTXL has a vertical opening of
15" high by 4" deep and weighs 23 1/2 pounds.

II - Portable Brinell Hardness Testers
|
|
Telebrineller and Halteman Filletester
|
These two very portable testers determine hardness by the
comparison of the impression diameter in a "Telebrinell" bar and
that made simultaneously in the test piece. Please note that it
is important to have a Telebrinell bar similar in hardness to the
material being tested. The Halteman Filletester is an accessory
that allows testing of weld fillets and other difficult to reach
areas.
The Telebrineller kit includes a Leica Scope, five Telebrinell
bars and computer. The current kit price is $895. The Halteman
Filletester is only $265. Additional Telebrinell bars are
$13.50 each.

|
King and Clark Brinell Hardness Testers
|
These heavy duty testers can be found in most foundries and
forges. They provide a true, Full (500 KG for Aluminum and
3,0000 KG for ferrous materials) load, using either 5 mm or
10 mm steel or tungsten carbide balls.
Both models are available in 13 1/2" and 20" heights as well
as 4" and 6" throat depths.
Current prices, including standard accessories, start at
$3,225. Scopes start at $350.

III - Portable Dynamic Hardness Testers
|
|
Proceq EquoTip
|
The EquoTip is made by Proceq of Switzerland, the developers of
this technique. The current model has conversions for most
types of metals and hardness scales. The user-friendly menu
structure is easy to follow and the large LCD display shows a
bar graph of each measurement and visual comparison to past
measurements. A variety of special purpose probes are available.
The EquoTip with the type "D" probe is priced at $5,500.
|
|
Krautkramer DynaMIC
|
This recent entry into the field of "Dynamic" hardness testers
has some unique features such as automatic correction for probe
position. It has both standard conversions; plus, it can be
calibrated against known samples of alloy materials.
Current prices start at $6,350 including a type "D" probe.

IV - Special / Portable Hardness Testers
|
|
Krautkramer MIC 10 & 10DL
|
Krautkramer's
MicroDur hardness testers use the "UCI" (Ultrasonic Contact Imedance) method to
measure the size of a Vickers diamon pyramid impression. The impression made is
very small and test is very fast. The "pen like" probe can get into areas
inaccessible to other hardness testing devices.
Three hand held
probes are available
- The 1 KG load
probe is suitable measuring the hardness of thin materials, plated parts and
parts with a thin case depth hardness.
- The 5 KG load
probe is suitable for most machined and hardened steel parts such as gear teeth,
splines, tools, dies.
- The 10 KG load
probe is suitable for softer steels and alloy materials and is becoming popular
in refineries and power plants where many pipes are too thin for accurate
measurements with the Brinell and Dynamic methods, and when test of the "HAZ"
(heat affected zone) of welds are required.
Prices start at
$7,125 for the MIC-10 with a hand held probe.

Proceq EquoStat
|
Proceq's new portable
"Rockwell-type" hardness tester clamps the test piece and performs a true, but
light load, "Rockwell-type" test. Applications include the testing of thin and
soft materials > 27 HRB.
The EquoStat uses
a 50N load. It has a hardness range of:
27 to 107
HRB
21 to 70 HRC
The thickness
range is 0.008" through 1".
The hardness
coatings over 0.004" thick can be measured.
The EquoStat can
be converted to an EquoTip simply by plugging in an EquoTip probe.
EquoStat price is
$10,995, EquoTip/EquoStat combination is $12,500.
