    Environmental Control

    The inert gas chamber allows reaching rough vacuum before purging the chamber with inert gas. This reduces oxygen concentration in the chamber and prevents oxidation of the sample surface and indenters.

    Features

    The high-temperature hardness module on the MFT-5000 is interchangeable to allow running several other standard and nonstandard high-temperature tests on the same platform.

    \
    Sensor

    Isolate the high resolution load cells using innovative design and methods resulting in negligible thermal drift during the test.

    \
    Down force control

    Real-time force control during the test. This allows to run several hardness standard on same tool.

    \
    Temperature Control

    Close loop temperature control characterizes hardness at various temperatures.

    \
    XY Stage

    The XY stage to create multiple indents automatically at various temperatures and locations.
