Precautions
a) Carefully read the Instruction Manual before you use the present instrument and get to know
thoroughly the operation procedure and the usage precautions so as to avoid the damages to the
instrument and the safety accidents caused by the improper operation.
b) All the bands and the anti-shock tapes should be carefully removed before the instrument is installed
and calibrated.
c) The single-phase 3-pin socket should be used for the power source and the ground connecting
cable should meet the safety requirements.
d) It is strictly prohibited to tamper with the installed position of all the electric component parts,
switches, and sockets of this instrument. Otherwise the instrument will be caused accident.
e) It is to be avoided to turn the Load-change Hand Wheel or the Rotating Wheel during the loading
and unloading operations and the dwell time of the test force.
f) Our company tries to improve the quality of the hardness testers and renew their structure. In case
the contents in the INSTRUCTION MANUAL are a bit different with the actual structure of the
instrument, it is hoped and apologized for the fact that the further notice will not be given.
Brief Introduction
1. Hardness is one of the important mechanic characteristics of the material while the hardness
testing is an important method to judge the quality of the metal material or its component parts.
The hardness of the metal is correspondent to its mechanic characteristics, and so its mechanic
characteristics such as the strength, tiredness, wriggling and wearing out can be tested out
approximately through its hardness testing .
2. The Motorized Brinell Rockwell & Vickers Hardness Tester, a multi-functional hardness tester with
Brinell, Rockwell &Vickers 3 kinds of testing methods and 7 steps testing force will meet the needs of
many kinds of hardness measurement. The instrument is adopted automatic shifter to load, dwell and
unload testing force, rotate the Load-Change Hand Wheel to change values of testing force, therefore
the operation for this instrument is simple, easy and quickly. Beside set zero to the dial, there is no
man made error for operation. The present instrument is with high sensitivity and stability, so as fit
for usage in workshop and testing laboratory.

5.5Rotate the Dial (3) of the instrument to let long pointer indicate position C.
5.6Press START key on the touch panel, the motor begin to work, the instrument load the test force
automatically. When dwell time of total test force is up, the motor rotates to unload the test force
automatically.
5.7At this time, the data indicated by the long pointer in dial indicator of the instrument is the hardness
value of the specimen tested (when testing HRB hardness for the specimen, the hardness value
should be readout from the data in the inner ring of the dial).
5.8The dwell time of total test force for Rockwell hardness measurement is 5 seconds. The dwell
time can be adjusted by pressing up and down key on the touch plane.
5.9Turn the Rotating Wheel in anticlockwise to let the Working Table go down, change testing
position for other test and repeat above mentioned operation process.
5.10The number of the point to be tested is not less than 5 (the first point in not include.) The number
of the points to be tested may be reduced a bit for the specimen tested in a serial.

2.5 By means of 5x Objective for Vickers hardness testing , the amplification of measuring
microscope is 75x.
2.6 When using 5XObjective, the Min. Graduation Value of the eyepiece drum wheel is 0.002mm
(I=0.002mm).
3. Do all preparation work before do testing .
3.1The surface of the specimen should be smooth and clean without any feculence, therefore to
guarantee the length of diagonal of indentation could be measured accurately. The degree of
surface finish should not less than 0.8
3.2Put the specimen stably on the testing table, its touching surface should be clean. It is prohibited
to move the specimen during measurement, and the test force should be loaded on the specimen
keep vertically.
3.3The Min. thickness of specimen or testing layer should not less than 1.5 times diagonal length
of the indentation. After testing , the back of specimen should not have any visible signs of
deformation.
4 The Operation Procedure of The Vickers Hardness Tester
4.1Take out the special device from accessories kit and clean rust preventing oil from it. Assembly
the Slipped Testing Table (33) with the UP and Down Moving Shaft according to installing drawing
(Fig . 5), Fasten the Knurled Nut (34).
4.2Insert the Seat of Microscope (30) into hole of the Frame (14) left at the instrument, then arming
at a pit, fasten the Screw (28). The bottom plane of the Microscope Seat should keep in parallel
with testing table.

Fig . 5
26. The Inside Light
4.3 Insert the Micro Eyepiece (29) to the hole and push it to the end. Insert the plug of the Inside
Light (26) to the socket in left of main body of the instrument, the Inside Light (26) should be insert
to the hole of the Seat of Microscope (30), Screw the Objective (31) into the hole under the Seat of
Microscope (30).
4.4 Place the specimen (32) on the testing table. Move the Slipped Testing Table (33) to the place of
the Blocking Nail 2 (36).
4.5 Connect the instrument with power source and turn the Switch on. The nixie tube lights up, and
the Inside Light also will be bright.
4.6 According to measuring requirement of specimen tested, rotate the Load-Change Hand Wheel
to select the test force 294.2N (30Kg) or 980N (100Kg).
4.7 Operate according to operation process described as Item 3.3 ~3.6 in 3 section of Chapter
Rockwell Hardness ( For ferrous metal, the dwell time of test force should keep 10~15 seconds
and for non-ferrous metal, the dwell time should be 302 seconds).
4.8 After getting the indention, lower down slightly the testing table to enable the specimen leave
off the Indenter, then move the Slipped Testing Table together with specimen to below under the
Objective (31), a bit to touch with the Blocking Nail 1 (35).
4.9 Rotate the Slipped Testing Table (33) slightly around the hole center of the UP and Down Moving
Shaft (7) to find indentation, at this point, turn the Rotating Wheel to enable testing table move
up and down until the image of indentation observed from eyepiece becomes clear, then the
focusing process is completed, fasten the Knurled Nut.
4.10 If the digital or graduated lines seem vague in the eyepiece, adjust the eye guard on eyepiece.
This is according to personal vision. If the image observed from eyepiece is vague or a half clear
and other half vague, that means the center of light source is departure. Rotate the Inside Light (26)
to adjust the center position of light source.

4.11 Measure 2 diagonal lengths of each indentation, calculate out the average length value for the
indention, then multiply a rate and check from the Check List Table to get the hardness value.
4.12 The difference value between average value of hardness tests and hardness value of standard
hardness block divide hardness value of standard hardness block, the result data that shows as
percent is the Tolerance of Displayed Value of the hardness tester. The difference value between
Max. Hardness value and Min. hardness value divide the average hardness values equals Repetition
of Displayed Value of the hardness tester. (Table 5)
4.13 Example: by means of 5X Objective, test force 294.2N(30Kg), measure out the Vickers hardness
value

Therefore, L=0.002*(400 - 221) =0.358, Look it up from the Check List of Vickers Hardness Value,
get value 434HV30.
