Struers, Cleveland, Ohio, announces that it will launch nine new Duramin hardness testers this year, beginning with the Duramin-170, a high-capacity hardness tester; and the Duramin-4, an entry level Vickers hardness tester.
The new Duramin range is said to represents the latest generation of highly successful hardness testers. With 30 years of experience within hardness testing, Struers is committed to constant improvement by listening to our customers and understanding their evolving needs.
The Duramin-170 is a dedicated Rockwell tester with a load range between 1.0 and 250 kgf. It is suitable for fully automatic Rockwell testing, Jominy testing, and Rockwell testing of large samples. This is a high capacity Rockwell tester, with a motorized test head, optional motorized XY-stage, and an embedded PC. Duramin-170 is particularly suitable for Rockwell testing of large or tall samples or for fully automatic Jominy testing.
Duramin-4 is a manual micro and micro/macro hardness tester. This entry-level range of microhardness testers primarily targets Vickers testing, but can also be used for Knoop and Brinell testing. The Duramin-4 testers are equipped with a combination of manual and automatic features to ensure easy operation. Duramin-4 is available in two load ranges; 10 gf to 2.0 kgf, and 1 kgf to 62.5 kgf. It has an automatic six-position turret, manual XY-stage and Z-axis, and manual indent evaluation via an eyepiece.
