Rockwell Hardness Tester
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10508
Rockwell Hardness Tester (SKU LSK-MTE-10508) is an industrial-type hardness testing machine that performs Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell tests and shows results on a four-digit LED display. It serves metallurgy and materials testing laboratories in engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes, as well as workshop inspection training. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment supplier in India, provides it from Ambala to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The machine carries out Rockwell or Superficial Rockwell hardness tests in accordance with established test specifications. Its four-digit LED display shows the measured hardness, monitors the progress of each test and presents derived statistical data. A diamond cone indenter and a 1/16 inch diameter ball indenter are supplied as standard.

Applications and Experiments for the Rockwell Hardness Tester
The tester measures hardness from the depth of penetration of an indenter under load, giving a direct reading without optical measurement of the impression. Students use the diamond cone for hardened steels and the ball for softer metals, and compare heat-treated and untreated samples.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical, production and metallurgy: Rockwell hardness test in materials science labs.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: effect of heat treatment on hardness.
- ITI and TVET inspection training: hardness checks on machined and heat-treated parts.
Superficial Rockwell tests use lighter loads and suit thin sections or surface-hardened parts, so one machine covers both bulk and surface work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Rockwell Hardness Tester is supplied with a diamond cone indenter and a 1/16 inch diameter ball indenter as standard. Any further indenters, anvils or test blocks you need are listed separately on the quotation, so the scope can match your laboratory's hardness practicals.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation is available for one tester or for several across a department. It shows packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and Brinell hardness items or other test and measurement instruments in India from the material testing range can be priced on the same quotation.
