MSE PRO Extended-Nose Rockwell Hardness Tester for Large Parts
1. Introduction
The MSE PRO Extended-Nose Rockwell Hardness Tester for Large Parts is a versatile hardness testing system designed for accurate Rockwell and superficial Rockwell testing on a wide range of metallic components. Its specially extended indenter structure allows users to measure ring-shaped, tubular, and other hard-to-reach parts that standard hardness testers may not accommodate, with a minimum internal testing diameter of 25 mm. Equipped with electronic automatic loading, a high-precision sensor, and a closed-loop control system, this tester delivers reliable and repeatable results. The touchscreen interface, automatic load correction, multi-scale hardness conversion, and USB data export in Excel format make it well suited for laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and quality control applications.
2. Key Features
- Extended-nose indenter design for testing rings, tubes, and other difficult-to-access parts with a minimum internal diameter of 25 mm
- Supports both Rockwell and superficial Rockwell hardness testing for broader application flexibility
- Electronic automatic loading with high-precision sensor and closed-loop control for stable, repeatable measurements
- Touchscreen operation with direct hardness scale selection and automatic force adjustment
- Automatic correction for high, medium, and low hardness ranges using standard hardness blocks
- USB storage of measurement data in Excel format for easy recordkeeping and data processing
