A Comprehensive Range of World-Class Hardness Testing Products

The range of hardness testing products and accessories offered by Met Optix are the very best and the latest technologies from around the world from leading manufacturers such as Innovatest.

Rockwell

FENIX, NEXUS, VERZUS and NEMESIS models

Rockwell Test Method: as defined in ISO 6508 & ASTM E-18, is the most commonly used hardness test method. Its generally easier to perform, and quicker than other types of hardness testing methods.

Vickers

NOVA and FALCON ranges

The Vickers hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces subjected to a load of 1g to 100 Kgf.

Brinell

NEXUS, NEMESIS and HB100 ranges

Most commonly used to test materials that have a structure that is too coarse or that have a surface that is too rough to be tested using another test method, e.g., castings and forgings. Brinell testing often use a very high test load (3000 Kgf) and a 10mm ball indenter so that the resulting indentation averages out most surface and sub-surface inconsistencies.

Universal

VERZUS, NEMESIS and NEXUS models

Universal hardness testers are hybrid instruments allowing the user to make Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell hardness tests according to the applicable ISO, ASTM and JIS standards, with one single machine.
