Indentation Tester

Caltech Engineering Services offers Indentation or Indentation Resistance Tester. Indentation or Indentation resistance tester is highly useful for testing of indentation hardness using penetrometer of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) material at above ambient temperature upto 90°C or 120°C up to 6 samples at a time. Indentation Test is recommended as per ISO 21809-1:2011 / DIN 30670: 2012 standard.

Indentation or Indentation resistance tester made of stainless steel bath with provision of constant circulated bath with thermostatic stirrer maintains uniform temperature throughout the test with high accuracy. Excellent temperature stability and temperature control for demanding applications.

Circulated bath controller has facility to control and measure temperature via electronic bright LED display cum controller mounted on bath. LED Display for easy to view from a distance for instant reassurance of unit status. It has integrated pump with built in facilities for timer function of 1 to 9999 mins (0.01 to 166 Hours).

Indentation Tester penetrometer are specially designed with a cylindrical indenter with a diameter of 1,8 mm i 0,05 mm, with a cross-sectional area of 2,5 mm2, on the top of which is mounted a weight. The assembly (indenter plus weight) shall produce a force of 25 i 0,5 N. This assist easy measurement of indentation depth to the accuracy of io,01 mm. Dial Gauges are provided on the side edge of penetrometer to measure indentation depth with high accuracy. Easy reading of the depth of indentation indicated on the penetrometer scale

The indenter shall be loaded with the mass of 2,5 kg in total into the equipment. This means 0.250 Kgs of penetrometer and weight of 2.250 Kgs, totaling to 2.50 Kgs.

Indentation or Indentation resistance tester also known as penetrometer with dial gauge indentation tester useful and recommended for PE / PP Coatings.

Testing can be carried out for single or multiple up to 6 samples at a time. Instrument is manufactured to meet the requirement of ISO 21809-1:2011 / DIN 30670: 2012 standards of coating inspection.

The temperature range and heater power are automatically limited according to the liquid type selected.

Simple-to-use rotor plus two keys provide access to the interactive interface for fast, accurate set-up

• Clear 4-digit display for instant reassurance - easy to read from a distance
• Visual and audible alarms alert you when your attention is required
• User calibration facility for optimum accuracy at the required operating temperature
• Low liquid protection by float switch
• User adjustable over temperature cut-out protects your samples and your workplace
