CHANGE LOAD
Turn the wrench 5 till the mobile indicator 3 coincides with the load
requirement.
SUBSTITUTION OF THE PENETRATOR
Loosen the ring nut (8a) and replace the penetrator (8) with a more
suitable one. The first test made after each replacement should not
be considered valid; it servers only to adjust the penetrator.
(For selecting the penetrator, see the table “Field of Utilisation”)
HOW TO CHANGE THE ANVIL
The standard kit is provided with 3 anvils:
The first can be used on 2 sides: it has a small rectified table on one
and a V groove to hold little round pieces on the other.
The other two are one with a 60mm table and one with a 60mm V
groove.
Choose the most appropriate one according to the shape of the
piece degrease it and insert in into the anvil hole.
After use, grease the anvil and put it away in the kit box provided.

PREPARATION OF THE SURFACE TO BE
TESTED
The accuracy of the measurement depends mainly on the roughness of
the surface under examination.
The better the finish of the piece, the greater the reading accuracy will
be. The best roughness is Ra < 0,3 µm.
Never carry out tests on raw surfaces as in this way, only the scale will
be tested and not the material, and there is the risk of damaging the
penetrator.
If possible, either grind the surface, or smooth the surface with tools
taking care not to overheat the metal, then by using emery cloth, polish
the side to be tested.
A few mm², where the penetrator and piece presser guide lay, will be
enough.
If the piece cannot be polished, so as not to damage the surface, carry
out at least 3 test, then average.
Vickers and Brinell tests need a bright surface.
The distance among the tests should be enough (2/3mm for loads up to
For greater loads, the distance must be 5mm minimum.
1471N
).(
150Kgf)
The surface under test must be parallel with that opposite.
During the test the piece must lie still, otherwise, repeat the test taking
care that the piece is steady enough.
Accurately clean the surface under test by removing oil, grease and
rust. Every 1000 tests clean the penetrator, and if a ball penetrator is
used, replace it.

SELECTION OF THE TESTING LOAD,
ACCORDING TO THE THICKNESS OF THE PIECE
A proper load is necessary to obtain valid and precise results.
To find them, follow this simple rule:
1° measure the thickness of the piece to be tested
2° estimate the approximate hardness of the piece.
NB:
You must evaluate the thickness of the piece.
Should the piece have been treated or hardened, the
surface thickness considered is that of the tested part, not of
the whole piece.
If the piece has been tempered, consider the thickness of the whole
piece.
In the following tables you will find some diagrams, each of them
corresponding to a different kind of test.
Example:
The test sample has a thickness of 1mm and an approximate hardness
of 60HRC. If you look for the crossing between HRC values and mm,
you will find out that your test is valid since the minimum allowed
thickness is 0.8mm.

Notes for correct hardness-tester operation
Be sure the test piece is tightly fixed on the anvil and its surface is
perpendicular to the penetrator.
Be sure the piece is parallel to the holding base.
Be sure that both penetrator and load are suitable for the test.
(See table 1)
Clean the surface of the piece removing oil, rust and any trace of
roughness. The upper surface to be examined must be as smooth as
possible. The best would be a roughness of Ra < 0,3 µm (the
hardness tester measures the penetration depth so if the surface to
be measured is rough this can influence the test).
Clean all the surface of the calibration test, the anvil and the
penetrator carefully. You should use a cloth dampened with petrol or
alcohol removing oil or grease. Be sure the surface has no
indentation on it, or the test results won’t be correct.
Use the calibration test only on the angraved surface. Each test
must distance the previous mark by at least 3 times and 3 mm from
the sample edges.
Should the measurements not be know for certain, carry out some
test on the test sample supplied as equipment.
Should the measurements be incorrect, carry out tests with another
scale, test sample and penetrator, and if in this case the rates
obtained are correct, replace the penetrator of the first scale.
Request the spare part from the factory.
The penetrator must always be in good condition in order to obtain
the best results, carry out some tests on the sample supplied. Should
the measurements be incorrect, ask for a new original penetrator.
You will avoid damaging your instrument!
Never use the hardness tester without the piece press, unless it has
already been set up for this function.
Do not vary the testing load to correct the calibration.

CALIBRATION
The hardness tester must be offthen checked on calibration trought
master certified test blocks, in accordance to international
standards EN ISO 6506, EN ISO 6507, EN ISO 6508.
The test blocks are the only vailable reference to assure calibration
of hardness tester.
When the tester do not give correct results immediatly research
the origin and repair it.
Any calibration or repair do not performed by our factory will
immediatly stop any warranty and we will not responsable for
conseguential damages direct or indirectly generate.
Check the tester calibration utilising the test blocks provided. 2 or 3
tests will be sufficient. The hardness tester is calibrated when the
results don’t exceed the tolerance of the INTERNATIONAL
CALIBRATIONS VALUE TABLE RATES.
If this is not the case, replace the penetrator - always ask for original
parts if you want to avoid damaging the internal components of you
instrument and to obtain precise and guaranteed values.
If after replacement of indenter the tester remain out calibration
require immediatly repair of the complete hardness tester by our
facility.
MAINTENANCE
AFFRI hardness testers don’t require any special care. Never-theless
you must follow the listed precautions in order to obtain precise and
reliable tests:
Check the hardness tester calibration every 500 tests.Carry out
some tests on the sample.
Check the penetrator every 500 tests, looking carefully through it
with a magnifying lens. If you find any irregularity, it will be
necessary to return the penetrator to our company to regrind it.
Clean the penetrator and its guide every 500 tests using a cloth.
Put the sample tests away in their supplied boxes.
Keep the anvils clean; eliminate any traces of oxide and remove any
dents on the surface.

TESTING METHOD
AFFRI HARDNESS TESTER
AFFRI’s durometers comply with the international 6508 ISO standard
for estabilishing hardness according to the Rockwell method. It also can
generate Brinell and Vickers print in compliance with 6506 ISO and
6507 ISO standard.
ROCKWELL
The Rockwell method is the most used for its speed in determining
the result, which is obtained directly on the display.
BRINELL
This method is limited to soft materials (i.e. not hardened) and
requires a more accurate preparation of the surface under
examination. The reading is possible through a microscope, which
enlarges the print obtained. On the other hand, AFFRI’s durometer
allows quick Brinell measures to be taken without the need of the
microscope. For its use, follow the instructions given.
VICKERS
This method is more complicated than the Brinell methods as the
surface under examination has to be perfectly polished.
The hardness test is obtained through a microscope-reading of the
square-based print diagonals left by the 136° diamond penetrator. No
other ways of obtaining these ratings are possible.
For additional information on test methods, consult the standards:

BRINELL METHOD
The Brinell method is suitable for soft metals, non
ferrous metals and cast irons
Some AFFRI durometer versions are also preset for direct Brinell’s
measurement (The test loads: 15,6 - 31,2 - 30 - 62,5 - 125 - 187,5 are
supplied according to the model chosen).
Simply equip the instrument with a Ø1, Ø2.5 or Ø5mm penetrator with
its suitable calibration sample and the cod.1216 microscope.After
having set up both the penetrator and the sample, see 2 and 2.1 tables.
Test the piece measure the print diagonal using our 1216 microscope.
Consult the Brinell tests table to convert the obtained value into Brinell
figures.
For quick and comparative measurements, some models are provided
with commonly used scales which can be obtained in digital versions:
HB30 with 1839N load (187,5Kgf)
HB10 with 613N load (62,5Kgf)
Cast irons
Use Ø2,5mm ball penetrator with load:
1839N
for Hb30
Non ferrous metals (aluminium, bronze, brass)
Use Ø2,5mm ball penetrator with load:
613N
for HB10
On dial versions read the scales on the black dial from 0 to 100 as in
Rockwell test convert, then, the obtained value in Brinell figures,
carryng out the direct reading of the Brinell tables.
Very soft non ferrous metals (pure aluminium)
Use Ø5mm ball penetrator with load:
1226N
for HB5
For example, if we use a 62.5Kgf load 2,5mm penetrators the figure on
the comparator will be 40, wich corresponds to 50,2 Brinell Hb10.
Some tables are shown below, one for each type of material.

VICKERS METHOD
Use Vickers method only when indispensable
For the Vicker’s method only one penetrator is required.
136° pyramidal diamond for all types of metals: both hardened and soft.
This diamond can be used with a large range of loads: 1g to 120Kg
according to the thickness of the piece being tested and its estimated
hardness.
In order to protect the sharp corners of the diamond penetrator,
exercise the gratest care when carrying out the test, and using a lapping
machine or a diamond paste, carefully smooth the surface.
By using our hardness tester with the loads supplied, Vickers’ prints can
be obtained.
With special equipment prepare the surface under examination. If test
with loads exceeding 441N (45Kg) be carried out.
The surface can be prepared with emery cloth of varying grains and a
500 grain emery cloths has to be used for the final polishing, until the
surface is smooth, that is, without pits.
After making the print on the material being tested, a print survey must
be made.
Our MIBRI 1216 microscope has a micrometric scale with more than
90° rotation for reading the two opposite diagonals of the Vicker’s print.
The light supplied with the microscope will remove any marks from the
test piece and will enhance the definition of the indentation.
Indication of obtained results
In compliance with international ISO 6507 standards, you must indicate
the results of your test as following:
200 HV30 = Vickers hardness 200 with 294.3N testing load (30Kg).

GLOSSARY
Penetrator
The penetrator is a point with the shape and size designed to indent
the material under examination by applying a load.
These are manufactured in different sizes and shapes, each one of
which is type-tested according to these different test methods:
Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers. They are fixed to the instrument by a
thread.
With the ROCKWELL method the following penetrators are
used:
120° Conic diamond for all hardened steels
1/16” Balls for nearly all soft metals, annealed steels, cast irons,
aluminium alloy, bronze, etc.
1/8” ball for plastic materials
1/4” ball for plastic materiale
1/2” ball for plastic materials
These device can be used with test load of 147, 294, 441, 580, 980,
1471N (15, 30, 45, 60, 100,
.1
50Kgf)
The first form Superficial
while the 580 - 980 - 1471N
,
Rockwell
(60,100,150Kgf) loads form the Standard Rockwell
.Scales
Brinell method uses the following penetrators:
Ø10mm ball
Ø 5mm ball
Ø 2,5mm ball
Ø 1mm ball
Each one of these must be used with the appropriate loads, which
are calculated with a formula and according to the thickness of the
piece to be examinated.
The ball must have a preset ratio with the test load of 2.5 - 5 - 10 30 square D (D is the square ball diameter).

Test load
This is the force applied to the penetrator which allows penetration in
the material being tested.
Reading scale
These are the hardness degrees obtained after penetrating the
material by means of a penetrator and a test load.
Anvil
The piece-holder can be of different sizes and shapes: “V” shapes for
round pieces; flat, for flat pieces.
Handwheel
This is used for lowering or raising the anvil-holder screw which
changes the serviceable port and brings the piece being tested to the
penetrator.
Calibration test sample
This is the reference mark for checking the machine’s perfect
calibration: it is manufactured with a special alloy submitted to special
treatment. Regulations forbid regrinding used, pitted surface or taking
measurements on the side opposite the pitted surface.
On Rockwell samples the distance between tests must at least be
2mm. On Brinell samples it must at least be as big as the previous print
diameter.
When the samples are full of marks, ask our firm for new original ones.

OFF
buttons.
ON
buttons.
The hardness of the piece is higher than the
maximum value of the scale. (See employment
field table and repeat the test)
See assembling of indenter on the user’s guide
Repeat the operation, making sure that the
lever runs trough its entire range until it reaches
the stroke-end stops.
See for round that piece is in axe to the indenter.
On flat pieces the piece is not stable.
The instrument is not correctly used.
See user’s guide and make sure that all
elements are correctly used (scale load,
penetrator, test time).
The indenter could be worn
Carry out 3 tests on the piece. If the values are
always different, the indenter must be replaced
because damaged it.
(Always use original and genuine spare parts).
Using an anvil which is too large
Use a smaller anvil.
The results are not up to
expectations
