This indenter has a 0.5 mm ruby ball and a tapered shaft, making it less susceptible to deflection (compared to the small stem of MA033). Also, the attachment of the ball to the shaft uses a brazing technique, i.e. welding between the shaft and the ruby ball (compared to gluing in the case of MA033) making the ball resisting to much higher lateral forces (25N). This indenter structure makes this indenters more robust and is a better choice than MA033 when the indenter is to be used extensively. The Holder for Spherical Indenters (MA031) is required.
- This accessory has been designed to facilitate cleaning and desinfection.
- This part has a robust design and will keep its integrity for years
- 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.
