Phase II Hardness Tester
A precision instrument designed to measure the resistance of a material (typically metals and some plastics) to permanent indentation.
The brand offers a wide range of models, including both portable handheld devices and benchtop machines, that employ various testing methods such as Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance), and Leeb.
Key characteristics and features generally include:
- Versatility: Capable of testing a broad spectrum of materials, including carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.
- Multiple Scales: Many models can automatically convert test results between popular hardness scales (e.g., HRC, HRBW, HB, HV, HLD).
- High Accuracy: Engineered to provide highly sensitive and accurate readings, conforming to standards such as ASTM E-18 and ISO 6508-2.
- Digital and Analog Options: Both digital models with advanced features like touch screens and data storage/output (USB) and classic, easy-to-operate analog models are available.
- Automation: Higher-end digital and automatic models may include features like automatic test force application/unloading, automatic Z-axis movement, and auto-turrets, reducing operator influence and improving repeatability.
- Application: Suitable for use in laboratories, workshops, tool rooms, inspection labs, and heat treatment facilities. Portable models are ideal for field use on large or hard-to-reach parts.
- Non-Destructive Testing: Some advanced portable models use non-destructive methods like UCI testing, which is ideal for testing finished parts with minimal impact on the surface.
IBG Eddy Curent Machine (NDT Testing)
An eddy current machine uses electromagnetic induction to perform either non-destructive testing (NDT) on conductive materials or to separate non-ferrous metals. In NDT, it detects surface and subsurface flaws like cracks and corrosion in materials like metal pipes or parts. In recycling, an eddy current separator uses powerful magnets to push non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and copper, away from other materials for sorting.
