Universal hardness tester HPuniversal 250-3000

The HPuniversal Video universal hardness tester offers safe and standard-compliant hardness tests for the Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Super Rockwell and Knoop methods. It is available in 250, 750 and 3000 kp versions with electromechanical load application. Thanks to this design, all standard-compliant test loads can be flexibly realized. The measurement can be carried out manually or fully automatically. An electronic zoom lens eliminates the need to change lenses, while a motorized turret is available for changing test procedures.
