Brinell Hardness Testing Machine

Brinell hardness testing machine in our country are mostly was made in Japan. Company name of this tester is Shimadzu. Maximum Weight that can be applied by this tester is 3000Kg. Some important parts of the tester are given below;

Aneal:
This part of the machine is used for placing the sample in the correct position.
Pressure Releasing Liver:
This lever is used to release pressure on the sample.
Handle:
Handle is used to apply the load on the sample.
Hanger:
Hanger is used to place load. The required load can be applied by increasing or decreasing the weight pieces on the hanger. However the the weight of hanger without any weight piece was 500Kg.
Indenter:
A 10mm diameter hard steel indenter was used in this experiment. However we can also use tungsten carbide indenter or some other depending upon the nature of sample.
Wheel:
Wheel* nearly at bottom of Brinell hardness testing machine is used to adjust height of the table.
Table:
Table* is the smooth surface of the brinell hardness testing machine, where sample is placed.
Dial Gauge:
It* is used for taking the reading of applied load on the sample.
