Description

Product Short Description The GHEXA-HRD-EQP-BRL-001 is a high-precision electronic Brinell hardness tester featuring advanced automatic electronic loading without traditional weights, delivering exceptional accuracy and a wide test force range for reliable hardness measurement. Supporting ten selectable Brinell scales (HBW2.5/62.5 to HBW10/3000), it excels at testing cast iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, soft alloys, and select non-metallic materials such as hard plastics and bakelite. With motorized force application, adjustable dwell time, large 280 mm sample height capacity, and clear hardness value comparison via standard tables, this robust instrument is ideal for factories, workshops, quality control labs, universities, and research institutions requiring consistent, operator-independent Brinell testing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What materials can the GHEXA-HRD-EQP-BRL-001 test effectively? A: It is optimized for cast iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, soft alloys, and select non-metallic materials like hard plastics and bakelite, covering a broad hardness range of 8–650 HBW.

Q: How does the electronic loading system improve performance? A: By eliminating physical weights, it provides precise, repeatable force application, reduces mechanical wear, enhances accuracy, and simplifies operation—no manual weight changes required.

Q: What Brinell scales and forces are available? A: Ten scales are supported, ranging from low-force HBW2.5/62.5 to high-force HBW10/3000, allowing selection of the optimal test force for sample thickness and material type.

Q: What is the maximum sample size it can accommodate? A: It handles samples up to 280 mm in height with 150 mm throat depth, making it suitable for medium to large components, test blocks, and industrial parts.

Q: How are hardness values determined and read? A: After indentation, the diameter is measured (0.01 mm resolution), and hardness is read directly from standard Brinell conversion tables—no digital display of HBW value is included in this model.

Q: Is calibration or maintenance required frequently? A: Periodic verification with certified Brinell test blocks is recommended per ISO/ASTM standards; the electronic system reduces mechanical adjustments, but regular indenter/anvil checks ensure ongoing accuracy.

Q: What power supply does it require? A: It operates on standard AC 220 V ±5%, 50–60 Hz—widely compatible with Indian laboratory and workshop electrical systems.
