ROCKWELL HARDNESS TESTER AZA1011
The AZA1011 Rockwell Hardness Tester by Azalab is a robust, fast, and highly accurate benchtop hardness testing machine designed for measuring the hardness of metals and alloys. Built in accordance with IS, BS, ASTM, ISO, and DIN standards, this machine delivers direct, rapid, and repeatable hardness readings for production floors, workshops, laboratories, and research institutions.
Since 1966, Azalab hardness testers have been trusted for their simple operation, rugged construction, and high reliability, making AZA1011 ideal for both routine inspection and advanced material testing.
Testing Capabilities
The AZA1011 performs:
- Rockwell Hardness Testing (HRA, HRB, HRC and other scales)
- Brinell Hardness Testing (on specific variants)
It is suitable for:
- Flat, round, tubular, and irregular metal samples
- Hard and soft metals
- Steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, copper, and hardened alloys
Description
Principle of Operation
The Rockwell method works by:
-
Applying a minor load (10 kgf) to seat the indenter.
-
Applying a major load (60, 100, or 150 kgf).
-
Measuring the depth of permanent indentation.
-
Instantly displaying the hardness value on the dial or digital screen.
The result is displayed directly – no optical measurement required.
Key Features
-
Heavy-duty, vibration-free cast body
-
Automatic zero-setting dial gauge system
-
Manual or automatic load selection (model dependent)
-
Standard diamond cone and steel ball indenters
-
Direct-reading analog / digital display
-
Adjustable dwell time
-
Precision elevating screw for specimen positioning
-
Comes with flat and V anvils
