Metolab 501 Vickers Hardness Tester

METOLAB 501 is a stationary hardness tester using the Micro-Vickers method, on the HV scale, as well as on the Knoop – HK scale. The device allows you to determine the hardness of various products (steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and soft alloys) in full compliance with GOST R ISO 6507-1-2007. The METOLAB 501 hardness tester has high accuracy, a wide measurement range (5-2500 HV), is equipped with a vernier micrometer, and also allows you to apply a wide range of loads in the range from 10 to 1000 gr.

The principle of operation of the METOLAB 501 hardness tester is based on the indentation of a pyramidal diamond indenter with a certain force into the controlled surface of the sample. After the designated time, the indenter rises. The hardness value is calculated according to the diagonal of the print (depth), or calculated by the formula.

Stationary automatic METOLAB 501 hardness tester is included in the State Register of Measuring Instruments of the Russian Federation (GRSI) under the number 66668-17 and comes with a certificate of primary verification (on request).
