AFFRI Hardness Tester ATI RS

To begin testing, users simply rotate the handwheel, raising the screw until the standard block makes contact with the indenter, confir- med by the system’s buzzer and “OK” status on the display. At this point, the initial test force is applied, and the motor automatically initiates the application of the main test force. Once the dwelling time reaches zero, the system automatically releases the main test force, retaining the initial force for final measurement.

Software

The advanced hardness testing system features a comprehensive and intuitive interface divided into five sections: Setting, Testing, Display, Diagram, and Programming. It supports various international standards (ASTM E140, DIN18625, GB/T) and hardness scales (HRA, HRB, HRC, etc.), allowing users to customize their testing needs.

To ensure accuracy, the system allows for the adjustment of dwelling time from 0 to 60 seconds and can test curved surfaces, correcting results based on the curvature radius. Users can set standard values and deviation limits to facilitate quick assessment of product pass/fail status. The testing process is automated: simply rotate the handwheel to initiate the test, with visual and audible confirmations. Once the dwelling time is reached, the main force is automatically released, allowing for accurate final measurement.
