Brinell Indenter
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10502
Brinell Indenter (SKU LSK-MTE-10502) is a hardness test part for the Universal Testing Machine: a hardened steel ball in a holder presses a small dent into a specimen, and a hand-held magnifier with a measurement scale sizes it. It suits engineering and polytechnic laboratories that want Brinell hardness tests on their UTM. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the ball holder and magnifier set in Saha, Ambala, India, at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, and quotes it directly to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table gives each detail of the steel-ball indenter. In short, the hardened ball sits in a holder that fits the compression area above the UTM loading platform, so the rising platform pushes it into a suitable specimen, and the supplied hand-held magnifier carries a measurement scale for accurate reading of the dent.

Applications and Experiments for the Brinell Indenter
The indenter lets students measure material hardness on the same machine they use for tensile and compression work. From the dent size, the ball size and the applied force they calculate the Brinell hardness number and compare metals, relating hardness to strength and machinability.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical and production: Brinell hardness test in materials science and metallurgy labs, with specimen thickness checked on a Micrometer.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: comparing the hardness of common engineering metals with their tensile behaviour on the Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine.
- TVET engineering and inspection modules on hardness testing.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Brinell Indenter is supplied as the hardened steel ball in its holder together with the hand-held magnifier with measurement scale. The Universal Testing Machine that applies the load is a separate product, and it can be added to the same quotation along with any test specimens you need.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes are available for a single indenter or one per machine across a department. Each quote shows packing, delivery time and price for the quantity, and a Universal Testing Machine or other engineering lab equipment in India from the material testing range can be priced on it too.
Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. To add Brinell work to an existing UTM, tell us the quantity through the contact page or place the indenter in the enquiry cart; institutions buying by tender can follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which machine does the Brinell Indenter fit?
It fits the area above the loading platform of the Universal Testing Machine from this range, the same space where compression tests on materials such as wood, brick and mortar are carried out.
How is the Brinell hardness number found?
Students measure the dent with the scaled magnifier, then use the dent dimensions, the indenter ball size and the applied force to calculate the Brinell hardness number of the specimen material.
Is Science Lab Supplies a manufacturer or a reseller?
Ball holder and magnifier set alike are produced in the company's Saha works in Ambala district, and the quotation you receive is written there, with no reseller between you and the factory.
How is it different from the Brinell Hardness Test Set?
The indenter works on the Universal Testing Machine. The Brinell Hardness Test Set, with its graticule magnifier and specimens, fits the Compression Cage used on the bench tensile machine.
Related Hardness and UTM Equipment
These items either carry the indenter, share its machine or offer other hardness methods. The UTM supplies the load; the test set, data-capture laboratory, Rockwell tester and the physics-lab drop-weight kit give alternative hardness routes for departments running several benches at once.
- Universal Testing Machine — hydraulic ram lifts the platform while a digital load meter stores peak force.
- Brinell Hardness Test Set — magnifier with graticule, used through the Compression Cage.
- Materials Laboratory With Data Capture — hardness specimen set on a platen behind a lockable guard.
