    Hardness Testing

    Overview

    Inspectahire offers standard Hardness Testing to NACE MR-01-75 (ISO 15156) using industry-standard testing machines including Krautkramer MIC10-DL. This is a handheld hardness tester, so it can be taken anywhere. This equipment also has small arrow probes that enable our technicians to make measurements on positions difficult to access.

    The hardness test is typically performed by pressing a specifically dimensioned and loaded object (indenter) into the surface of the material you are testing. 

    • On-Site Technicians, available
    • Availability 24/7
    • Instant results

    • In difficult-to-access locations
    • On series parts during production
    • For material identification
    • On a range of materials including solid, coarse-grained objects, forged parts with homogeneous surface structures and cast items

    Equipment for the solution

    • equotip hardness tester
