(Qualitest USA: Plantation, FL) -- Qualitest introduces the latest addition to its hardness tester family. The QualiBrineller is an advanced load cell type Brinell hardness tester applying loads from 62.5 kgf to 3,000 kgf. The rugged design makes the tester suitable for production/shop environments as well as lab settings. The QualiBrineller is available with or without the QualiScope II digital Brinell microscope with automatic image analysis software.

The closed-loop load cell application of the test load is designed to ensure that the tester applies the correct load throughout the test cycle. This unique technology ensures that the hardness reading is correct even if the test component flexed or was bent during the load application.
