Vickers Hardness Testing 

Flexible Testing Capability

The LV Series is built for versatility, enabling testing of everything from soft metals to ultra hard alloys on a single platform. A broad Vickers load range supports most standard applications, while optional Knoop and light load Brinell accessories expand testing capabilities to thin coatings, brittle samples, and softer alloys.

Whether evaluating microscopic features or heavy industrial components, the LV adapts to your workflow without the need for multiple instruments. 

Ease of Use

The LV Series simplifies hardness testing for operators of any experience level. Bright LED sample illumination and clean, intuitive controls make indentation viewing and test setup straightforward. Choose the interface style that fits your environment, classic analog controls or the LV810’s modern touchscreen. Optional auto‑turrets on AT models further streamline testing by automatically rotating objectives and indenters, boosting throughput with less manual handling.

Precision & Consistency

A proven dead‑weight loading system forms the core of every LV instrument, delivering consistent, accurate indentations test after test. Digital LV810 models enhance reliability through automated hardness calculations, built‑in scale conversions, and ASTM‑compliant measurement routines. This combination of stable mechanics and intelligent software gives you the confidence that your results remain uniform across operators, samples, and shifts.

Rugged & Efficient Design

The LV Series is constructed for long service life in demanding lab environments. Its enclosed dead‑weight mechanism shields critical components from dust and vibration, helping maintain alignment and calibration over years of use. Durable metal framing and long‑life LED lighting further reduce maintenance needs.
