The well known CV-HB120 Brinell tester is designed to make impressions that are used to measure the hardness of metal.
This universally recognized tester has a number of advantages:

• Permanence Impression can be checked and rechecked anytime
• Accuracy Calibrated to 0.5 of 1% of load ;
  Can be used for higher loads up to 3000kg
  Breaks through surface heat treatment to get
  to the core of the material
• Versatility Can be used in virtually any position;
  right-side up, upside down or sideways
• Durability Some portable Brinell testers have been working over 60 years

CV-HB120 Brinell hardness testers are lightweight, easy to maneuvre and require only one operator, making them ideal for use as portable or bench units. Versatile enough to test virtually any size and shape of metal specimen.

These Brinell testers are easy to use. The operator simply places the specimen between the anvil and the test head, cranks the test head down onto the specimen, locking the tester in place, closes the pressure release valve, and pulls the hydraulic lever until desired load is reached.

The tester applies up to a 3000kg load on a 10mm ball, making a lasting impression, which is available for re-reading at any time.
A by-pass valve is automatically activated at the calibrated load, eliminating the chance of overloading. The impression is then read and recorded by the operator using a Brinell microscope such as the deep reading microscope or a Brinell scanning system CV-HB100.

The CV-HB120 meets all international standards for Brinell testing

1 Alloy steel-threaded posts – Wear longer, resist distortion
2 Pressure lever – Used to apply up to a true 3000kg load
3 Bourdon-type pressure gauge – Indicates true load exerted by pump and when full load has been reached
4 Stainless steel test head – Contains sealed hydraulic pump and reservoir. Calibrated to release load at 3000kg.
Fully interchangeable with optional bases. Also available in a low pressure version for testing softer metals and in a long ram version
5 Gear train with hand crank – Allows easy, positive adjustment ot opening to any size specimen up to 14" 20' optional
6 Standard 10mm brinell ball – Can be easily changed to 2.5mm and 5mm ball or reverse direction load head
