NOVOTEST TS-R Analog Rockwell Hardness Tester

Rockwell Hardness Tester NOVOTEST TS-R implements the Rockwell hardness test method in line with ISO 6508-2 and ASTM E18.

The metal hardness test method is based on the testing of resistance to indentation. The Rockwell hardness tester TS-R is reliable, easy in operation and service.

TS-R is a bench-type hardness tester on a rigid rack. TS-R allows measuring the hardness value by three hardness scales (HRA, HRB, and HRC) with loads of 60, 100, and 150 kgf. The device has 2 indeters: a classical Rockwell diamond indenter with the 120-degrees tip, and the indenter with hard-alloy ball tip of 1/16 inch (1.5875 mm) in diameter. The operator can see the results of hardness testing on the large, easy-to-read dial. The testers offer high sensitivity and stability and are suitable for testing in workshops and laboratories.

A wide variety of test parts

The device can be used to test the hardness of almost any metal. It is mainly suitable for the measurement of the hardness of smaller parts yet the thickness of the test object should be 10 times thicker than the indentation depth. Rockwell testing is applicable to the parts with medium roughness and such metals as steel, hard cast irons, pearlitic malleable iron, titanium, deep case hardened steel and other material.
