vertex barcol hardness tester

Barcol Impressor is mainly applied to test aluminum and aluminum alloys. Webster is used to test aluminum alloy extrusions, sheet and tubings. Barcol Impressor is suitable to test pure aluminum, soft aluminum alloys, super thick aluminum alloys, aluminum alloys bars and assembled aluminum alloys parts (e.g. al-alloy door &window, scaling ladder etc.)

1. Relevant Standard: ASTM B648 (Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Aluminum Alloys by Means of a Barcol Impressor)

2. Barcol Impressor is also used to test fiber reinforced plastics and rigid plastics etc.

3. Relevant Standard: ASTM D2583-07(Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Rigid Plastics by Means of a Barcol Impressor)

4. The improved models of Barcol Impressor are available to test softer plastics, very soft metals, rubber and leather etc.
