Micro Hardness Testing : Picodentor Hm 500
Microhardness testing instrument - picodentor HM500 is checked for quality by our expert professionals as per the DIN EN ISO 14577-1 standards. It works on indentation depth method in which indenter is continuously pressed into the material tested with an increasing test load, and then unloaded. This microhardness testing instrument - picodentor HM500 is widely demanded in different industrial applications. Furthermore, it is extensively used for bulk material and coatings thinner than 1 μm (0.04 mils).
DESIGN
