Hardness testing machines according to Vickers

Presently Vickers scale’ hardness measurements IN the macro range are conducted from 1 kg to 100 kgf.

Hardness is measured using a diamond tetrahedral pyramid with 1360 peak angle by indentation a tip in a sample surface under constant load. This hardness measurement method is the optical method and expects measurement of the hardness arithmetical average of 2 indentation diagonals.

A hardness testing machine model for Vickers hardness measurement made by Struers ApS company is shown above.
