The SM1017 MKIII performs Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell tests in accordance with established specifications:
- Vickers: ISO 6507, ASTM E92
- Brinell: ISO 6506, ASTM E10
- Rockwell: ISO 6508, ASTM E18
The instrument features a backlit LCD display which is used to display measured hardness results, to monitor the progress of the test and to display information that may be required when setting up the machine for a variety of parameters.
Conversions of the results are also possible, according to ASTM E140 and ISO 18625.
The SM1017 MKIII is an industrial instrument and if used in accordance with the following instructions, and given reasonable care and attention, it will maintain accurate and reliable hardness scales.
