Hardness Testing

Accurate Hardness Testing for Material Verification

Hardness testing measures material resistance to indentation, assessing strength, wear, ductility, heat treatment via Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers methods. Tove Leeds’ ISO 17025 lab serves oil & gas, power, mining, aerospace with traceable results.

Rockwell (HRA-HRC) tests steels/aluminum rapidly (10-15s) per ASTM E18 for gears/shafts. Brinell (500-3000kgf) suits castings/forgings like Hardox via indentation diameter (ASTM E10).

Vickers (1gf-100kgf diamond) excels microhardness, welds, coatings (ASTM E92). Verifies pipelines, boilers, crushers.

ISO 9712-certified personnel calibrate blocks, report values/compliance for integrity, failure analysis.

Why Choose Tove Leeds?

Rockwell Hardness Testing

Our Rockwell testers give fast digital results for steel, alloys, copper, aluminum on scales A,B,C,15N,30N,45N per ASTM E18, ISO 6508.

Brinell Hardness Testing

We do Brinell tests on castings, forgings, soft metals with tungsten balls at 500-3000 kgf. Reliable for coarse grains per ASTM E10.

Vickers Microhardness Testing

Our Vickers testers use diamond indenters for microhardness from 1 gf-100 kgf. Tests thin sections, treatments, small parts per ASTM E92, ISO 6507.

On-Site Portable Testing

Portable Leeb testers check large parts, welds, in-service gear non-destructively. Verify pipelines, vessels, steel, machinery for compliance, safety.
