Optimizing Brinell Testing Accuracy: Why Test Head Selection Matters
Key Test Head Options and Applications
- Standard Test Head – Ideal for routine Brinell testing across a wide range of common metals.
- Low Pressure Test Head – Perfect for softer metals or thin-walled components, minimizing surface deformation while delivering precise measurements.
- Long Ram Test Head – Designed for hard-to-access or recessed areas, ensuring accurate load application for complex parts and in-situ testing.
- Chain Adapter – A versatile solution for securing and testing oversized or irregularly shaped parts, supporting the full 3000 kgf load for standard Brinell indentations.
All test heads are certified to ASTM E-10, ASTM E-110, and ISO 17025 standards, with calibration traceable to NIST and guaranteed accuracy within ±1%.
