Hardness Testing Machines and Instruments

Zwick Roell’s comprehensive range of hardness testers for metals, plastics, rubber and special materials to all established and internationally known standards provides hardness testing solutions for all requirements - from manual standard applications to fully automated testing systems.

Universal Hardness Testing Machines and Instruments

Universal hardness testing machines and instruments can be used for more than just one testing method – their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Instrumented Indentation Test

Working in collaboration with the German Federal Institute for Materials Research (BAM), the Zwick Group is at the cutting edge of this innovative method and plays an active role in standards committees at national and international level.

Vickers Hardness Testers

The hardness testing instruments in the Vickers family cover various load ranges and are available with varying levels of equipment, providing the right instrument for each application.

Rockwell Hardness Testing Machines

The various instruments in the Rockwell product group are used for classical Rockwell methods (load: 60 - 150 kg), Superficial Rockwell methods (load: 15 - 45 kg) and combinations of Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell methods (load: 15 - 150 kg).

Shore / IRHD Hardness Testers

Shore and IRHD hardness testers (IRHD = International Rubber Hardness Degree) determine the indentation depth of materials, from foams to rigid plastics and rubber.

Portable Hardness Testers

Many applications require the hardness tester to be transported to the specimen, or sometimes a standard-compliant, stationary hardness test is too expensive. In such cases portable hardness testers are often used.
