Vickers Hardness Tester HV-5
Manual optical reading Vickers hardness tester with stable structure, easy operation, economical and durable, for micro hardness testing of small parts, thin materials and surface layers.
The HV-5 is a classic mechanical Vickers hardness tester with manual loading, dwell and unloading. It adopts a high-precision weights-loading system to ensure accurate test force and good repeatability. Equipped with a high-definition optical reading microscope, it can clearly observe and measure the indentation diagonal. The instrument features a rigid structure, reliable performance and easy maintenance, widely used in laboratories, workshops and quality inspection for small workpieces, thin sheets, coatings and various metal materials.
