Brinell hardness tester for metal hardness measurement
Optimize your material testing with precision hardness measurement—ensure structural integrity and quality in every component, from large-scale beams to intricate aerospace parts.
The Qness Series from QATM offers a comprehensive solution for hardness testing across various metals and alloys. Known for its precision and versatility, the series includes models like the Qness 60 M EVO and Qness CHD Master+, designed for both micro and macro testing needs. This tester utilizes a carbide ball to create and measure indentations, ensuring accurate hardness calculations essential for quality control in industries such as automotive and aerospace. With a test force range from 0.25 g to 3000 kg, it accommodates various testing scenarios, from intricate metallurgy lab applications to large-scale steel manufacturing. Integration into production lines is seamless, thanks to features like semi- and fully-automatic operations, asynchronous motor control for consistent test head precision, and manual or motorized height-adjustment capabilities. Its energy-efficient design ensures cost-effective operation while maintaining compliance with DIN EN ISO 6506 standards, making it an invaluable tool for material testing laboratories and research facilities focused on detailed analysis and quality assurance.
