On the market for over 70 years, King Brinell
hardness testers are lightweight, easy to maneuver and require only one operator,
making them ideal for use as portable or bench units. Versatile enough to test
virtually any size and shape of metal specimen, these testers are easy to use.
The operator simply places the specimen between the anvil and the test head,
cranks the test head down onto the specimen, locking the tester in place,
closes the pressure release valve, and pulls the hydraulic lever until desired
load is reached. 
The tester applies up to a 3,000 kg load on a
10mm ball, making a lasting impression, which is available for re-reading at
any time. A by-pass valve is automatically activated at the calibrated load,
eliminating the chance of overloading. The impression is then read and recorded
by the operator using a Brinell microscope such as "Deep reading
microscope" or KingScan®IV automatic Brinell microscope. This
portable Brinell hardness tester meets all international standards for Brinell
testing including ASTM E-110, British Standard #240, Pt.2, Sect.1 and JIS
Standards, and is calibrated to 1/2 of 1% of load on equipment traceable to
NIST Standards.
