The Brinell hardness tester is a device used to measure the hardness of materials. Based on the principle of Brinell hardness testing, the hardness value of materials is determined by the indentation method. It is widely used for hardness testing of materials such as metals, alloys, plastics, etc., and has the characteristics of wide testing range, high accuracy, and easy operation.
Working principle of Brinell hardness tester
Testing principle
Use a hard alloy ball (or steel ball) of a certain diameter as the indenter, press it into the surface of the tested material under the specified test force, maintain it for a certain period of time, and then remove the test force.
Measure the diameter of the indentation and calculate the Brinell hardness value (HB) using the formula.
