Rockwell Hardness Tester
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10508
Rockwell Hardness Tester (SKU LSK-MTE-10508) is an industrial-type hardness testing machine that performs Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell tests and shows results on a four-digit LED display. It suits metallurgy and materials testing laboratories in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes, as well as workshop inspection training. Laboratories and contractors can order it through Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment supplier in India that sources, quotes and dispatches the tester from its Ambala base.

Applications and Experiments for the Rockwell Hardness Tester
The tester measures hardness from the depth of penetration of an indenter under load, giving a direct reading without optical measurement of the impression. The diamond cone suits hardened steels and the ball softer metals, so heat-treated and untreated samples can be compared on one machine.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical, production and metallurgy: Rockwell hardness test, with results set against tensile strength from the Bench Top Tensile Testing Machine.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: effect of heat treatment on hardness.
- ITI and TVET inspection training: hardness checks on machined and heat-treated parts, with section thickness confirmed on a Digital Micrometer.
Superficial Rockwell tests use smaller loads and suit thin sections or surface-hardened parts, so one machine covers both bulk and surface work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Rockwell Hardness Tester is supplied with a diamond cone indenter and a 1/16 inch diameter ball indenter as standard. Any optional accessories you need can be added to the quotation, so the scope can match your laboratory's hardness practicals.
