About
Tinius Olsen F14-1 Vickers & Knoop Indentation Hardness Tester
Location: Jesser Hall 162
The Tinius Olsen model FH 14-1 Micro Vickers, Vickers, and Knoop hardness testing machine belongs to a new generation of digital instruments, which improves conventional hardness testing methodology by eliminating user influence on the test results. The unique force actuator system utilizes an electronically controlled closed-loop system and advanced force sensor technology with feedback to achieve optimal accuracy, reliability and repeatability. Besides this advanced electromechanical force application system, the FH 14-1 offers superior quality mechanical and optical components for ease of use and repeatable measurement.
