Micro Hardness Testers
 KK&S Instruments present a wide range of instruments for coating thickness measurements according to the X-ray fluorescent, Beta Backscatter, magnetic induction, eddy current and coulometric methods:
- Measuring electrical conductivity and ferrite content
- Testing the sealing quality of anodic coatings on aluminium and porosity testing
- Measuring microhardness
- Material analysis

The Fischerscope® H100C is a computer-controlled measuring system for micro hardness testing.
The Fischerscope® H100C measuring system was conceived to measure the Universal Hardness (according to DIN 50 359, Draft DIN 55 676 and Technical Report ISO TR 14 577). The advantage of the Universal Hardness measurement versus the conventional Vickers Hardness measurement is that it is free of subjective influences such as the optical measurement of the indentation diagonal. However, the Fischerscope® H100C is also suited for hardness measurements using Berkovich, Knoop or various spherical indenters. The direct measurement of the indentation on the video screen allows for a simple measurement of the hardness according to Vickers. Additional material properties can be computed using the WIN-HCU® Software.
Applications The various possibilities of hardness testing and the determination of various material properties open a broad range of applications. Among them are testing of electroplated coatings (decorative, functional) as well as paint, synthetic or hard material coatings (PVD, CVD) and of materials used specifically in medical technology applications. In addition, at electronic components, bond wires, etc. or even on hair, the Fischerscope® H100C offers the user valuable information about important quality criteria. Features - Measurement of the Universal Hardness (HU) under test load by measuring the indenter displacement depth (according to DIN 50 359)
- Test load range from 0.4 mN to 1000 mN.
- Measurements on coatings with less than 1 micrometer thickness are possible.
- Use of different indenters (Vickers, Berkovich, Knoop, various spherical indenters)
- Various instrument models adapted to the applications
Features of the WIN-HCU® Software - for Windows® 95/98 and Windows® NT
- Programmable, fully automatic measurement sequence
- Test sequence can be imported into Excel spreadsheet
- Extensive evaluation capabilities:Graphic display and storing of measurement plots; Computation of statistical characteristics such as mean value and standard deviation; Computation of material characteristics such as HU, HV, Creep, etc.; Display of the measurement data as histogram, in a probability chart or in an SPC chart
- Conversion of Universal Hardness to Vickers Hardness
- Data export (e.g., to MS Excel or MS Word etc.); the measurement plots are exported as graphic files (wmf, bmp).
