TIV

Innovative technology ensures another step forward in mobile hardness testing: the TIV method (Through Indenter Viewing), based on hardness testing according to Vickers; makes it possible to “see through” the Vickers diamond by means of special optics. The hardness is measured under load; as soon as the test load is reached, the image of the indentation is transferred and evaluated directly, automatically, and quickly.

TIV Hardness Tester

Products Features

  • Hardness Testing according to Vickers under test load
  • Through Indenter Viewing by means of special optics and a CCD camera
  • Direct checking and assessment of the quality of measurement by observing the growing indentation on the color display
  • Fully automatic evaluation of the Vickers indentation and determination of the diagonals without detour (via microscope)
  • Independent of test direction and test object's material
  • Measurement range from approximately 30HV to more than 1000HV (depending on probe)
  • Clearly arranged data memory for convenient and structured saving of the test results. Test series can be recalled and edited.

Applications

  • Heat treat shops - easy and fast determination of surface hardness
  • Aerospace - on-site hardness testing on thin-walled components and on different alloys without any additional calibration
  • Manufacturers of coils - reliable mobile hardness testing on sheet material
  • Testing companies - on-site measurement by means of a universal, portable unit
  • Research institutes, labs, and training companies - “view through the diamond”, observation of the indentation process and measurement control
