This kit of spherical indenters has been assembled to provide flexibility to the researcher to adjust the diameter of the indenter according to the size of the sample to indent. The smaller the indenter diameter, the more the mechanical characterization data will come from the surface of the sample. It is very important to adjust the size of the indenter with the critical size of the sample. Each indenter is made of a highly smooth and spherical ruby ball mounted on a carbide stem and stainless steel base. Manipulation of the very small indenters should be done with great care since those assemblies are relatively fragile. The advantage of buying the kit compared to buying individual item is that you receive two extra spherical indenters 0.3 and 0.5 mm.
- This accessory has been designed to facilitate cleaning and desinfection.
- Designed to be used in contact with physiological saline solution
- Easy to assemble and mount on the tester
- The red ruby ball facilitates positioning of the indenter when used with a sample bathed in a solution.
