To determine the Brinnell hardness number for the given specimen using
Brinell Hardness Testing Machine.
Apparatus Required
Procedure
1. Initially the machine is kept in unloading position using hand lever. The
required weight is added in the weighing hanger.
2. The motor is started and kept in position till the hanger reaches its top
position.
3. The specimen is placed securely on the testing table by rotating the hand
wheel in clockwise direction till the small pointer reaches red dot. The
hand lever is turned to loading position
4. When the long pointer reaches a steady position the load may be released
after 15 seconds.
5. The hand wheel is rotated in anticlockwise direction and the specimen is
removed. The diameter of impression is measured using Brinell
microscope and the hardness number is calculated using formula
6. The procedure is repeated for three times and the average value is noted.
