Vickers Hardness Tester
Vickers Hardness Tester (Product Code: SLE/ETP/06) is an industrial instrument that performs the Vickers hardness test, used to measure the hardness of metals and other materials in materials testing laboratories, workshops and engineering colleges. An LCD display shows measured hardness results, the progress of each test and set-up information, and a serial interface sends results to a standard printer or a PC. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its test and measurement instruments for Indian laboratories.

What Is the Vickers Hardness Tester Used For?
In the Vickers method a square-based diamond pyramid is pressed into a prepared surface under a set load. When the load is removed, the two diagonals of the square impression are measured, and the Vickers hardness number is calculated from the load and the mean diagonal. Because the indenter shape stays the same whatever the load, the method covers soft and hard materials on one scale, which makes it popular for comparing heat-treated and untreated steels, checking welds and testing thin sections.
Good results start with the sample: cut it square, grind and polish the test face flat, and support it firmly on the anvil. Use the LCD to set the test parameters and follow each test's progress, then print the results or transfer them to a PC through the serial interface so every reading goes straight into the lab record. Keep the tester clean and follow its operating instructions for routine care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LCD on the Vickers Hardness Tester show?
The LCD on the Vickers Hardness Tester (SLE/ETP/06) displays the measured hardness results, monitors the progress of each test, and shows the information needed when setting the machine up for a variety of parameters.
Can results be printed or sent to a computer?
Yes. The Vickers Hardness Tester has a serial interface that can print results on a standard printer or communicate the data to a PC, so readings can be stored with the rest of your laboratory records.
What test loads and ranges does it offer?
Test loads and measuring ranges for the Vickers Hardness Tester are not listed on this page. Send your sample materials and testing needs through the contact page and we will provide the details with the quotation.
How do I keep the readings reliable?
The Vickers Hardness Tester is an industrial instrument that maintains accurate and reliable hardness scales when used according to its instructions and given reasonable care. Whether a calibration certificate is available should be discussed with us.
How should samples be prepared for Vickers testing?
Samples for the Vickers Hardness Tester should have a flat, finely polished test face and sit firmly on the anvil, because the small indentation is measured across its diagonals and a rough surface makes those edges hard to read.
Who supplies the Vickers Hardness Tester?
The Vickers Hardness Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India, to colleges, training institutes, workshops and dealers in India and international markets.
What information does a quotation need?
