BK30 Brinell Scope
Model: BK30
Portable Brinell microscope for automatic measurement of ball indentations of Ø 2.5, 5 or 10 mm made by a separate Brinell tester.

About the BK30 Brinell Scope
HBW 2.5/15.62 HBW 2.5/31.25 HBW 2.5/15.6 HBW 2.5/187.5 HBW 5/25 HBW 5/62.5 HBW 5/125 HBW 5/250 HBW 5/750 HBW 10/100 HBW 10/250 HBW 10/500 HBW 10/1000 HBW 10/1500 HBW 10/3000
The tester’s limited weight and compact size make it an extremely efficient instrument to test any surface, any large or unwieldy item, or any already assembled product. It is extremely easy to use: simply choose the desired hardness scale, put the test probe on the surface, and push the red button. The result immediately appears on the wide graphic display. At this point, the tester is once again ready for a new measurement.
With AFFRI portable Brinell microscope it is possible to perform quick and precise indentation measurements using the same method and technology as a standard bench-top instrument.
- Portable Brinell Microscope
- Portable Brinell microscope for automatic ball indentation measurement Ø 2.5 or 5 or 10 mm
- User Friendly, Handy And Accurate
- The Software
- Exclusive Advantages
Supported methods documented by AFFRI
- Brinell HBW — optical reading of an existing indentation
Measurement principle
Optical indentation measurement only — the BK30 does not apply a test force.
Technical notes
- The indentation must first be made with a Brinell tester at the selected ball and force; the BK30 then measures the diameter and calculates HBW.

At this point, the tester is once again ready for a new measurement.
The Software
- The software controls the whole measurement avoiding setting errors or operators mistakes:
- Setup the hardness test scales, the properties of the camera, the test method standards, and the conversion scales.
- Export results as a TXT file or use the USB/WI-FI/Bluetooth outputs to connect the tablet to printers.
- Lists all of the readings done and their associated image. Chart the results and statistics highlighted according to their tolerance values (LOW, OK, HIGH).
Exclusive Advantages
With AFFRI portable Brinell microscope it is possible to perform quick and precise indentation measurements using the same method and technology as a standard bench-top instrument.
One complete indentation measurement in only few seconds.
