KING Portable Brinell Hardness Tester
Portable yet powerful, this tester combines handheld hydraulics with ASTM/ISO certified calibration, allowing accurate HBW scale readings in challenging locations. Its durable build, multiple testing forces, and impressive capacity for large sample size make it a preferred choice for both field technicians and laboratory specialists.
Features
Can apply very high load (up to 3,000 kgf) with a 10 mm ball. Enables testing of hard and large metal specimens.
Meets major international standards for Brinell hardness testing, ensuring comparability and reliability of results.
Weighs ~15-38 kg depending on configuration; can be used in orientation right side up, upside down, or sideways; allows taking tester to sample rather than moving large parts.
Comes with flat, V-, and dome-anvils; optional bases such as chain adapter or larger gap bases to accommodate larger or irregular samples.
Accuracy better than ~1%, with calibrated load build-and-release mechanism; overload protection (by-pass valve) ensures correct force without overloading.
