WHAT TYPES OF HARDNESS TESTING DOES NDO NEDERLAND USE? We gebruiken de Equotip-methode, die de hardheid meet op basis van een elektronische analyse van impact- en terugveersnelheid. De eenheden Vickers, Rockwell en Brinell passen we veel toe.
IS HARDNESS TESTING POSSIBLE ON COATED STEEL? No, in that case we would be testing the hardness of the coating. It is therefore important to conduct Hardness Testing early, before any coating is applied.
CAN HARDNESS TESTING BE CONDUCTED IN THE RAIN AS WELL? Yes it can, we have found a suitable solution for this.
HOW LONG DOES HARDNESS TESTING TAKE? In most cases we can offer a hardness indication within 2 hours, thus reducing delay to a minimum.
DOES HARDNESS TESTING LEAVE ANY TRACES? Some methods damage the measuring surface, others do not. Unfortunately each method does not suit all situations, as a result of which slight damage cannot always be avoided. We always consider your wishes in our advice.
