All rights reserved. GEIT-20028US (09/04) New paths in mobile hardness testing Extensive fields of application The Krautkramer TIV sets new standards in mobile hardness testing: tests are not only independent of the test position and direction of testing but in this case also of the test object’s material and mass or geometry. Consequently the TIV opens up a large variety of new application fields which were previously not open to portable hardness testers. Some application examples Examples of possible application areas for the TIV hardness tester are as follows: • Heat treat shops – easy and fast determination of surface hardness, no calibration required • Aviation – on-site hardness testing on thin-walled components and on different alloys without any additional calibration • Manufacturers of coils – at last reliable mobile hardness testing on sheet metal • Testing companies – on-site measurement by means of a universal, portable unit • Research institutes, labs, and training companies – ”view through the diamond”: observation of the indentation process, and measurement control Test method ”Through Indenter Viewing”: optical hardness testing method according to Vickers under test load; with an optical system including CCD camera for the automatic or manual determination of diagonal lengths through the diamond; optical control of the diamond indentation by means of display image. Probes Hand-held probe TIV 105; test load 5 kgf (50 N), Hand-held probe TIV 101; test load 1 kgf (10 N), size approx. 220 mm x 52 mm / 8.7” x 2.0” (L x dia.) Materials tested Static load application enables hardness testing on the most different materials without any additional calibration, e.g.: steel, nonferrous metals, carbide metals, ceramics, glass, plastics Range of measurement Depends on the probe; for TIV 105: approx. 100 HV – 1000 HV, for TIV 101: approx. 30 HV – 500 HV Display 1/4 VGA color TFT display, 5.7” visible range; 115.2 mm x 76.8 mm / 4.5” x 3.0”, 240 x 320 pixels, backlight Dialog languages For example: German, English, French Conversion scales and resolution HV (1.0); HB (1.0); HS (1.0/0.5/0.1); HRC (1.0/0.5/0.1); HRB (1.0/0.5/0.1); N/mm² (5.0) Conversion Automatically according to DIN 50150, ASTM E140 Evaluation Representation of test data as a curve, histogram, or in tabular form; Calculation of statistical data, e.g.: average, standard deviation, range Automatic instrument switchoff After a freely selectable period of time with automatic storage of test data and instrument settings Keyboard Membrane keypad with an integrated touch screen Power supply Line adapter (100V – 240V), NiMH battery pack MIC 20-BAT, 4.5 Ah (internal charging), or 6 commercially available C-cells (NiCad or NiMH) Operating time With battery pack MIC 20-BAT approx. 1,000 measurements in continuous operation Specifications and Accessories Battery charge indicator Low-Batt indicator, instrument switchoff with undervoltage Operating system WinCE Interfaces RS 232 bidirectional, Ethernet 10 Mbits Housing Injection-molded plastics Temperature ranges Operation: -0° C to +50° C / 32° F to 122° F Storage: -20° C to +70° C / -4° F to 158° F Weight Approx. 1.4 kg / 3.1 lb including MIC 20-BAT Size 78 mm x 215 mm x 180 mm / 3.1” x 8.5” x 7.1” (H x W x D) Test attachments Test attachment for standard applications and measurements using a support Other accessories Carrying case, diamond cleansing cloth, hardness reference blocks with certificate, battery- driven grinding set for surface treatment, printer cable, different test supports and probe attachments, application software UltraDAT
