Universal Hardness Tester
Universal Hardness Tester (Product Code: SLE/ETP/09) is a bench-top hardness testing instrument used to measure Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell hardness of materials in engineering, metallurgy and industrial training laboratories. One instrument covers all three methods, and its backlit LCD shows measured results, test progress and the settings needed for each set-up. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of the test and measurement instruments in India it sources for colleges and training centres.

What Is the Universal Hardness Tester Used For?
Hardness is a quick, almost non-destructive guide to a material's strength, heat-treatment condition and wear resistance. The Universal Hardness Tester lets one laboratory run the three most widely taught methods: Brinell, where a ball leaves a broad dent that suits softer or coarse-grained metals; Vickers, where a pyramid-shaped indentation is measured across its diagonals; and Rockwell, where hardness is read from the depth of penetration.
Students can test the same specimen by each method and discuss why the numbers differ, or follow how quenching and tempering change hardness. For reliable readings, use a flat, clean and well-supported specimen, keep indentations away from edges and from one another, and check the set-up information on the LCD before each series of tests.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Which of the Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell methods you will use most, so the indenters and test loads in the quotation can be confirmed with you.
- The materials and typical specimen sizes your students will test.
- Whether you also need specimen preparation equipment for cutting and polishing.
- The number of testers and the delivery destination.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Universal Hardness Tester to engineering colleges, polytechnics, industrial training institutes, dealers and importers. We source the instrument for your application and confirm its configuration with you before quoting. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.
Related Materials Testing and Properties Equipment
Dedicated testers and specimen preparation items that sit alongside a universal hardness tester:
- Vickers Hardness Tester — a dedicated machine for labs that run mainly Vickers tests.
- Brinell Hardness Tester — a dedicated Brinell machine for heavier routine testing.
- Brinell Indenter — a simple ball indenter with graticule magnifier for introducing the Brinell method.
- Cut Off Wheel Machine — sections specimens to a size that sits firmly on the test anvil.
- Single Disc Polishing Machine — gives the smooth, flat surface needed to read small indentations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hardness methods does the Universal Hardness Tester cover?
The Universal Hardness Tester measures Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell hardness on one bench-top instrument. This lets a laboratory teach and compare all three methods without buying a separate machine for each, which also saves bench space.
What does the display of the Universal Hardness Tester show?
The Universal Hardness Tester has a backlit LCD that shows the measured hardness result, monitors the progress of each test and displays the information needed when the machine is set up for different test parameters.
How should specimens be prepared for hardness testing?
Specimens for the Universal Hardness Tester should be flat, clean and firmly supported, with a smooth surface where small indentations must be read. Keep each test point clear of edges and of earlier indentations so the surrounding metal is not already deformed.
Is a calibration certificate available with the Universal Hardness Tester?
Whether a calibration certificate can be provided with the Universal Hardness Tester should be discussed with us before ordering. Please raise it on the contact page with your enquiry, so the answer is part of your quotation.
Who supplies the Universal Hardness Tester?
The Universal Hardness Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send us your requirement and we will confirm the configuration.
