Standards & Accreditation
By carefully following the internationally recognized ASTM E-92 & E-384 standards and additional requirements as an ISO 17025:2017 A2LA Accredited laboratory, our clients are assured the quality of the results of Vickers hardness tests are as high as possible.
Our Equipment
LECO’s M-400 Vickers Hardness Tester uses the latest electronic controls, coupled with high-precision load cells to provide highly accurate penetration measurement data. The tester uses a diamond indenter for Vickers testing, and features an X-Y micrometer stage along with a self-leveling vise. The machine is calibrated regularly and undergoes proficiency testing according to ASTM and ISO 17025:2017 standards to ensure accuracy.
