Hardness testing

Hardness is the mechanical resistance a material offers to the penetration of an indenter. It is used, for example, as a measure of wear. We supply hardness reference blocks for calibrating and checking your equipment, as well as stationary and portable hardness testers for Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, Leeb, UCI and Shore.

Dye penetrant testing (PT)

Dye penetrant testing detects surface defects in metals, plastics, ceramics, glass and similar materials quickly and with little effort. We supply testing media, test fixtures and complete PT systems.

Magnetic particle testing (MT)

Magnetic particle testing is used to inspect almost all ferromagnetic materials for cracks and defects at or just below the surface. We supply stationary test benches, portable yokes and hand magnets, testing media and measuring instruments.
