ZHU 2.5 microindenter
The ZHU 2.5 microindenter is used to measure the hardness, modulus and other mechanical properties of meso-to-macroscale structures and coatings.
As an instrumented system, it can apply forces of up to 2.5 kN to a sample through probes of specific geometries while precisely measuring the force applied to and deformation of a sample.
It is also capable of operating as a Vickers-style hardness tester for macroindentaton using its integrated microscope to measure indentation marks.
In addition to a Berkovich probe, spherical probes with diameters 1 mm and 13.7 mm are available.
