UK Calibrations are distributors for Wolpert Wilson Instruments hardness testers from the USA. Wilson Instruments introduced the first Rockwell tester to the market over 80 years ago. The simplicity and robustness of the test, invented by Stanley P. Rockwell, revolutionised hardness testing. It was fast, accurate and allowed the part to be used after testing.

The Wolpert Wilson Rockwell Series 500 and 600 provide proven reliability and precision at an affordable price for your standard Rockwell tests like HRC, HRB and HRA on any metal like steel, cast-steel, brass, bronze and aluminium.

Their latest product is the 2000-series. The fastest and most accurate closed loop Rockwell tester on the market. The Twin model is capable of testing both Regular Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC, etc.) and Superficial Rockwell (HR15N, HR30T, etc.).

We also supply a range of Universal hardness testers with Brinell function.

The Wilson Instruments 574 Rockwell testers are proven, durable, and reliable performers meeting a range of Rockwell testing applicationsAvailable in Regular, Superficial or Twin scale models, the 574 provides a rugged industrial design, an all new, easy to use control panel, and built in USB for easy data transfer to spreadsheet or other applications. With the best repeatability in its class, a high precision depth measurement system and proven performance, the 574 provides an affordable hardness testing solution.

The Rockwell 2000 series hardness tester uses a unique, closed-loop electronic control system and load cell mounted directly on the indenter to eliminate errors. This ensures that preliminary and total forces are applied with unparallelled accuracy and repeatability. The 2000 series uses optical linear measurement technology to achieve the highest level of depth measurement accuracy and resolution available. There are no mechanical linkages or sources of friction between this measuring device and the tested part. This is a major improvement over conventional dead-weight hardness testers.

The BRIRO R Series Rockwell Hardness Testers offer high testing accuracy, ease of operation, clamping capabilities, and an efficient test cycle, while providing confidence in test results. Manual and automatic test setups are available: the BRIRO R is ideal for general purpose testing, and the BRIRO Automatic is suited for large volume testing and higher production levels. The BRIRO features the unique Reicherter original designed clamping system with a high clamping force (>320 kgf) that eliminates any compliance in the system, and allows for safe testing of both small and very large parts. Original Reicherter clamping combines both user independent measurements with a very high repeatability and ease of use.

• Low inertia spring load system ensures high testing accuracy
• Tests to 12 test methods
• Precise test load selection
• Preload indicator allows for testing without clamping
• WIN-Control automation software for automatic measurement or HM-Control
