Automatic microhardness tester UHL VMH Automatic microhardness tester UHL VMH 

A pyramid-shaped diamond tip is pressed into the material to be tested with a specified load and dwell time. Based on the resulting impression, the testing device calculates the Vickers hardness of the material and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about strength, toughness and mouldability.

  • Test load: 1-2000gf
  • Dwell time: 1-20s
  • Magnification 10x, 50x
  • Material testing: Quality control of surface coatings and mass-produced parts,
  • Determination of wear on material surfaces
  • Mineralogy: Determination of the degree of weathering of minerals, characterisation of minerals and
  • minerals and rocks, determination of diffusion profiles or recrystallisation
