1 Main description The hardness tester is suitable for measuring the micro hardness of micro, thin, surface coating specimens, and determination of glass, ceramics, agate, artificial gemstones such as more brittle and hard materials Knoop hardness. It is an ideal hardness testing instrument for scientific research institutions, enterprises and quality inspection departments to study and test.
Turn the wheel(2)make the screw (3) down smoothly through the work table opened hole The specific size of the hole is (Fig 1) (Fig 2) 1. Adjusting screw 2. Wheel 3. Lifting Screw (protection cover) 4. Testing Table 5. Indenter 6. Micrometer eyepiece 7.

the focusing plane will come closely. At this time, raise the Test Table up slowly and slightly until the surface of specimen forms a clear image, at this point, the focusing process is completed. If cannot find the specimen’s focal plane, turn the 10X objective to the front position, at this time, the general magnification is 100X, it is easy to find the focal plane after reducing the magnification.
Calibration of hardness value The precision of the hardness displaying value of the hardness tester is just calibrated before the instrument is turned out of the factory. If an error is caused due to the transportation or according to the various requirements of the client, the hardness value may be revised by pressing input keys.
Maintenance and precautions of hardness tester It is necessary to read carefully the usage instruction manual before the operation of the instrument in order to know the operational procedures and the precautions so as to avoid the damages to the instrument caused by the incorrect operation.
