FAQ's of Semi-Automatic Microhardness Tester:
Q: How does the tester accommodate different sample sizes and materials?
A: The microhardness tester is designed for single samples up to a maximum size of 100 x 100 mm and height of 120 mm. By featuring selectable loads (10 g - 1 kg) and adjustable test width (up to 100 mm), it efficiently adapts to a variety of material types and thicknesses encountered in laboratory environments.
Q: What software and data output options are provided with this equipment?
A: This tester comes with compatible analysis software to facilitate easy data processing. Digital printout, USB interface, and optional RS232 port allow measurements to be exported to a PC for detailed reporting, documentation, and record-keeping. Multi-language menu ensures accessibility for diverse users.
Q: When should I use the automatic versus manual testing modes?
A: Automatic mode streamlines routine hardness testing, reducing manual intervention and boosting throughput. Manual mode is recommended when custom control over the measurement process is needed, such as for research on unique sample types or for troubleshooting specific testing scenarios.
Q: Where is this instrument ideally used?
A: The Semi-Automatic Microhardness Tester is best suited for laboratory environments specializing in material hardness testing, including research institutions and quality control laboratories. Its precision and flexibility make it a valuable asset for metallurgical, manufacturing, and academic laboratories in India.
Q: What is the typical process for performing a Vickers or Knoop hardness test using this equipment?
A: Begin by preparing the sample and mounting it securely. Select the desired load and test mode. Use the built-in microscope with LED illumination to focus on the test area, then initiate indenting. After the test, the instrument measures indentation and digitally displays results, which can be recorded or exported for analysis.
Q: How does the equipment ensure reliable and accurate measurement results?
A: With high-precision mechanics, automatic loading/unloading, and a resolution of 0.1 HV, results are both consistent and accurate. The tester's accuracy is 3% FS, and the built-in microscope enables clear indent observation. Combined with stable operating conditions and thorough software analysis, this ensures dependable hardness data.
Q: What are the benefits of using this semi-automatic microhardness tester?
A: This instrument offers high-efficiency measurements, reduced operator fatigue, reliable test repeatability, and versatile application to a wide range of materials. Its digital data output, multi-language support, software compatibility, and refined optical system streamline laboratory workflows and improve testing accuracy.
