Brinell Hardness Test Set
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10498
Brinell Hardness Test Set (SKU LSK-MTE-10498) is an extra experiment module that lets students carry out simple Brinell hardness tests on a bench testing machine. It suits materials science and strength-of-materials practicals in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes. The module is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in its Saha, Ambala works on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India, and each quotation for it goes out from there to institutions, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each specification of the Brinell module appears in the table below. In short, it pairs a magnifier fitted with a graticule, a measurement scale for reading indentation size, with test specimens made of basic engineering materials, and its parts fit into the optional Compression Cage, which provides the compressive load path.

Applications and Experiments for the Brinell Hardness Test Set
The set introduces indentation hardness testing: a ball is pressed into a specimen under load, the diameter of the impression is read with the graticule magnifier, and a Brinell hardness number is calculated. Comparing several engineering materials shows how hardness relates to strength and wear resistance.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical and production: hardness testing in materials science and metallurgy practicals, with specimen thickness checked on a Digital Micrometer.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: comparing the hardness of common workshop materials, with specimen sizes taken on a Vernier Caliper.
- TVET engineering modules on material properties and inspection with optical measuring aids.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Brinell Hardness Test Set includes a magnifier with graticule and a set of test specimens made of basic engineering materials. The Compression Cage is an optional item and the test machine that applies the load is a separate product; both can be added to the quotation for the set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask for one set or enough for several benches. The quotation you receive gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and the Compression Cage, the tensile machine or other test and measurement instruments in India from the same range can be added to it.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Hardness-lab enquiries can be typed straight into the contact page or built up item by item in the enquiry cart, while purchasing officers working to a bid document will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Brinell Hardness Test Set be used on its own?
No. It is an extra experiment module for a test machine. Its parts fit into the optional Compression Cage, which mounts in the tensile test area of the Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine to apply the load.
How is the indentation measured?
With the supplied magnifier, which carries a graticule (measurement scale). Students read the diameter of the impression and use it, with the ball size and applied force, to work out the Brinell hardness number.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer of this set?
The magnifier set and its specimens are assembled in the company's Saha workshop near Ambala, so you receive a manufacturer's quotation for price and delivery with no trading house adding a margin.
How does it differ from the Brinell Indenter?
The Brinell Indenter is a hardened steel ball holder that fits above the loading platform of the Universal Testing Machine. This set is instead used through the Compression Cage on the Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine.
