Fischerscope HM2000 S is an advance range of nanoindentation gauging instrument which is used for finding the martens hardness HM, the indentation hardness, particular elastic quantities, the indentation modulus and supplementary material factors. This fischerscope HM2000 S is tested as per the ISO 14577-1 and ASTM E 2546 standards. Furthermore, it measures the factors in micro and nanometer rangeDESIGN:

It has a measuring head HT2000 which contains the test load generating unit, the indenter and the position measurement unit which is used for measuring indentation depth as well as the entire electronic system.

HM2000 S can be upgraded with a programmable positioning aid.

FEATURES:

Low requirements on sample preparation

In-situ zero point determination during the measurement

Measurement of dark surfaces without sample pretreatment

Optional: additional stone plate with silicon damper pads to reduce influence of vibrations

Easy operation through the WIN-HCU® Software

Due to the excellent temperature stability of the measuring head HT2000, the creep behavior of materials can be determined precisely with measuring times up to several hours

Adequate load and depth range

It can be used for a wide spectrum of applications including polymeric automotive clear coats, ceramic diamond-like carbon coatings, etc.

Sophisticated design renders HM2000S an ideal machine for all environments

Majority of samples can be measured swiftly and without the requirements of preparation of special sample

Excellent thermal stability permits for analysis of rate-dependent polymers material properties

Optional: Stone plate with silicon damper pads to reduce influence of vibrations
