Duramin 3000

Heavy-duty Brinell hardness tester, maximum test force 3,000 kgf, for large castings and rolled material inspection.

The Duramin 3000 is a heavy-duty Brinell hardness tester designed for heavy-industry materials, with a maximum test force of 3,000 kgf capable of accurately testing the Brinell hardness of large cast iron parts, steel castings, forgings, and rolled materials. Automatic force control ensures each test conforms to standard, while the optical indentation measurement system delivers precise HBW values — widely applicable in steel mills, foundries, and heavy machinery manufacturing.

Key Features

  • Maximum test force 3,000 kgf — suited for heavy-industry materials
  • Compliant with ISO 6506 Brinell hardness international standard
  • Automatic force control — stable and reliable test results
  • Optical indentation automatic measurement — precise HBW calculation
  • Large work table — accommodates large-format workpieces

Applications

  • Steel mill Brinell hardness acceptance testing of cast iron and steel castings
  • Hardness certification of large forgings and rolled materials
  • Material quality control in heavy machinery components
  • Hardness testing of die castings and large aluminium alloy castings
