Portable Hardness Test

Portable Hardness Testing (HT) is a non-destructive testing method utilized to obtain the hardness
value of a material. OIS uses the Hardness Testing Technology to provide clients the information they
require about the materials they are utilizing.

Application

  • Ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, and select nonmetallic
    materials
  • Welds and weld overlays, weld heat affected zones (HAZ’s), castings and forgings, piping, stress relieved material, machined parts, pressure vessels, and structural steel
  • Damaged materials as part of a failure analysis
  • Welds and to verify material compliance to:
  • ASME Section IX / NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 requirements

Advantages

  • Fast results and reporting to the client
  • Field Ready
  • Highly portable tools can be used in most locations
