BRINELL INDENTER

Brinell indenter and magnifier with Graticule. Allows hardness tests to be completed on the Universal Test Machine.

The Brinell Indenter fits in the area above the loading platform of the Universal Testing Machine. The indenter uses a hardened steel ball in a holder that pushes down onto a suitable test specimen and creates a small dent. The hand-held magnifier has a measurement scale or 'graticule' for accurate measurement of the dent. Learn about BRINELL INDENTER specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Using the dimensions of the dent, the indenter ball and the force applied gives the Brinell hardness number of the specimen material.
