QV 2000 Micro Hardness Tester Series
ASTM E384, EN ISO 6507
The QV 2000 series Micro Vickers & Knoop testers with mechanical load application ranging from HV0.01 to HV2 (10gf to 2kgf) are reliable instruments to determine the hardness of a wide range of products. A currently unique load system allows force application from 10grams up to 2kg without changing weights and without any hassle. Any load within the range can be chosen with the load selector knob directly and will be applied in accordance of American and global standards such as ASTM, EN, ISO.
Features
- Accurate test force
- Highly accurate measurement
- Excellent Gauge Repeatability & reproducibility
- Efficient and flexible in use
During the assembly process the QV2000 AAT or DAT will be configured to your particular requirements. Whether you wish 1 or 3 measuring objectives or prefer a 2 indenter system allowing you to change your measurement form Vickers to Knoop at the touch of a button. The QV2000 series offers all of these options and can be configured to almost any requirements. Video imaging systems, auto measuring systems, filar systems or directly connected, exporting data to MS Office applications.
The QV 2000 testers are available in two basic models featuring the following options
QV 2000-AAT series:
A traditional hardness testing system using a high precision load application mechanism. The AAT series is available in a configurations with 10gf ranging to 2kgf maximum force. The standard motorized single objective turret can be completed with a second indentor . The 400 series has an analogue eyepiece (15x magnification) with bright micrometer reading to determine the indent diagonals. The values obtained from the micrometer can be keyed in to the graphic user interface. The automatic calculated Vickers or Knoop hardness will be shown on the bright display. It is possible to show converted values to hardness scales simultaneously on the LCD display.
- Motorized turret
- Analogue eyepiece
- Mototorized load control
- Statistics and conversions
- XY stage with 0.01 mm resolution
- Built in high speed printer
- Second optical or Video path
QV 2000-DAT series
As an alternative to the standard AAT series, the series DAT offers a Digital Electronic Eyepiece with enhanced functionality and high resolution readings. Obtained diagonal measurements are transferred automatically to the CPU system and calculated to the actual Vickers or Knoop value. The DAT has more advanced display functions. The system shows realtime statistic values, converts to Rockwell, Brinell, Leebs and UTS (tensile strength). The DAT model is one of the most advanced deadweight Micro Vickers systems currently available.
- Motorized turret
- High resolution digital eyepiece, automatic measurement
- Conversion to other hardness scales
- Mototorized load control
- Statistics and conversions
- XY stage with 0.01 mm resolution
- Built in high speed printer
- Second optical or Video path
Force Ranging from 10gf to 2kgf without changing weights
The QV 2000 series allows testing work pieces of a wide variety. The test force can be selected with the help of an easy to operate selector knob on the side of the tester. Replacing any weights is not necessary. The tester does the full range up to 2kg by just turning the selector knob to the required force position. The test range of the QV 2000 series is quite UNIQUE for a dead-weight micro hardness tester.
