2 Introduction 2.1 Measuring principle The HMM hardness tester is physically a rather simple dynamic hardness tester: A rebound sensor with a hard metal tip is driven against the surface of the test object with spring force. The surface can be damaged if the rebound body hits the surface, which is ultimately due to a loss of kinetic energy.
The sample should have sufficient mass and stiffness. If not, the impact may cause a displacement or movement, which may lead to a significant measurement error. As a general rule, if the weight of the sample is 5 kg or more, testing can be performed directly. HMM-BA-e-2020...
• If the sample surface is not flat, the radius of the test area should not exceed 30 mm. It is also necessary to use an appropriate support ring. • The sample should have no magnetic properties. 3.3 Test execution HMM-BA-e-2020 Loading Positioning Impact...
The tester can be connected to a wireless printer to print a test report. Place the printer near the tester (at a distance of up to 2 m) and switch it on. Press the " " key and hold it for about 2s: the report is printed. HMM-BA-e-2020...
