  • Other features include mapping, edge detection, welding measurement, fracture measurement, and Jominy testing.
The DuraVersa-100 is an automated Universal hardness tester, supporting all common hardness scales like Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, and Brinell. Offered in three versions, starting from loads as low as 200gf and extending up to 250 kg, 750kg, or even 3000kg, with the option for expansion to include low forces down to 10gf for all 3 versions. Each version features the distinctive 9-position turret, providing flexibility to equip indenters and objectives according to specific application requirements.

The new universal hardness tester is software controlled with a built-in high-resolution camera and motorized Z-axis with auto-focus and auto-measure, thus ensuring repeatable and effortless results. The models with automated stage unleash limitless automation possibilities.

Fast, dependable results for multiple applications

No matter what material you work with, Struers ensures that your lab has the right setup to meet the standards you need, with optimal reproducibility and repeatability of results.

Gain control

Whether dealing with small or large samples, single or multiple, leveraging the overview camera option offers a clear outline of the testing requirements, facilitating swift and accurate preparation and setup.

Superior results

With its unique 9-position turret, you can have all your indenters and objectives pre-mounted on the instrument to enable a fast toggle between tasks. By default, the turret has a combined crosshair laser and touch probe to allow fast and easy positioning. Both hard- and software were designed to comply with ISO and ASTM standards; from the load mechanics, the optical system, the high-resolution camera to the advanced software algorithms.
