5 Operating methods

5.1 Testing preparation

Switch on the machine and then the tester will automatically perform a self check. The relative

information such as type, series number, software version will be displayed on screen. Tester will

come to main menu after self-checking; current test parameters will be displayed on screen, and

the status at the last test parameters will be automatically stored.Figure5.1.1 isa typicalstatus of

Theproperindentermustbemountedinthemachineaccordingtothespecificrequirementsofthe

hardnesstest.Wheninstallingindenter,makesuretheinstallingsurfacecleanandtightlyfixed.

Thetestcanbeperformeddirectlyaccordingtotheprocedure5.3ifnoneoftheparametersaboveis

requiredtomodify;followingproceduresshouldbeobservedifmodificationisnecessary.

5.2Testparameterssetting

5.2.1 5.2.2

Press “Setup” key, figure 5.2.1 will be shown on the display, the parameter setting is ready.

5.2.1 Brinell hardness symbol

There are 12 kinds of Brinell parameters that this machine is capable of setting. The appropriate

parameters should be selected according the material and intended hardness value. The

parameters are listed in Tab 5.1.

Press“ ”or“ ”key to move cursor to “1” in figure 5.2.1, press “ ” key ,then the cursor move

to “HB10/3000”. Press “ ”or“ ”key at this time the optional 12 Brinell symbols in Tab5.1 will be

appear in sequence. When the desired symbol appears, press “ ”to confirm. At this time test

force will be changed automatically.

Press “Setup” key to return to figure 5.1.1；or press “ ”or “ ”key to reset the other parameters.

5.2.2 Load dwell setting

Load dwell refers to the duration of total test force.

Press “ ”or“ ”key to move cursor to “2” in figure 5.2.2, press “ ” key ,then the cursor move

to “12S”. Press “ ”or“ ”key at this time to select the dwell time range from 2s～99s,then press

“”to finish the setting.

Press “Setup” key to return to figure 5.1.1；or press “ ”or“ ”key to reset the other parameters.

5.2.3 Reference information

Press “ ”or“ ”key to move cursor to “4” in figure 5.2.2, press “ ” key ,then the figure 5.2.3,

and 5.2.4 appear, which showing the directions for 0.102F/D2ratios should be selected

according to the materials and the range of hardness value.

Figure5.2.3 Figure5.2.4

Press “Setup” key to return to figure 5.1.1；or press “ ”or“ ”key to reset the other parameters.

5.2.4 Time setting

Press “ ”or“ ” key to move cursor to “6” in figure 5.2.1, press “ ” key, figure5.2.5 appears.

Press “ ”or“ ”key to move cursor to “1” in figure 5.2.12, then press “ ” key, press “ ”or“ ”

to select the year, and press “ ” key to confirm. The month, also the date, hour, minute and

second can be reset in the same way.

Press “Setup” key to return to figure 5.1.1.

5.3 Testing

Caution：The sample must be place and supported in such a manner that the surface to

be indented is in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the indenter and the line of the

indenting force. Otherwise 3000kgf will bring a great divisive force in horizontal direction

that may cause damage to the machine.

YES NO

Place the sample to be tested on the anvil, and rotate the hand wheel in clockwise to lift the anvil

as figure 5.3.1, showing the anvil moving course. Rotate the hand wheel smoothly until the anvil

in figure reaches the end position, buzzing warning will be given out, then the rotating should be

stopped at right.

Figure5.3.1 Figure5.3.2

Then the testing cycle will be performed automatically as following: load application showing as

figure 5.3.2, the load holding showing as figure 5.3.3 with dwell time counting down, finally

unloading is performed immediately when the dwell time has finished.

After that, all the test results will be shown on the display as in figure 5.3.4.

Rotate the hand wheel in counter-clockwise to lower the anvil, and the screen returns to figure

5.1.1 for the next test.
