Jera Line’s laboratory is equipped by hardness test machines, to guarantee the mechanical properties of any electrical connectors, clamps that we produce. The hardness criteria is critical because our products are applied with the power cables, where high hardness may damage the cable, and low hardness may not provide the proper electrical contact.
1. Rockwell Hardness Test Machines:
Rockwell hardness testers are essential tools for assessing material hardness using the differential depth method. These machines measure the residual indentation depth created by an indenter, providing valuable insights into material properties.
The most widely used Rockwell hardness test methods are standardized for metals according to ASTM E18 and ISO 6508. In the plastics industry, these methods include the Rockwell hardness test (ISO 2039-2 and ASTM D785) and the ball indentation hardness test (ISO 2039-1).
2. Brinell Hardness Test Machines:
Brinell hardness testing is commonly used for metals and alloys. It also applies to non-ferrous materials like cast iron and aluminum.
These machines automatically select weights and set zero positions, making testing efficient and accurate.
Both Rockwell and Brinell hardness tests play crucial roles in ensuring material quality and performance. If you need further details, feel free to contact Jera Line.
