About this equipment

New King portable Brinell hardness tester in the A1 package, sold by a testing-equipment distributor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The A1 set combines the hydraulic test head (3000 kgf, or a low-pressure head) with the standard base offering a 13.5 in gap and 4 in throat, plus a stroke limiter. The tester presses a 10 mm tungsten carbide ball into the part, and the impression is read afterwards with a Brinell microscope, which is not part of this package. The listing cites ASTM E10 and E110, load accuracy within 0.5% and NIST-traceable calibration. Flat, dome and V anvils are included, and dispatch usually takes about a week.
