Application area. The device can be used in factory laboratories, research institutes, educational institutions, metallurgical, mechanical engineering, aerospace, mining, electronic industries, as well as in other branches of science and technology related to the use and development of materials.
Advantages. The distinctive feature of the device is an order of magnitude lower weight, resistance to external vibrations, multifunctionality and productivity achieved through the use of an original method for measuring the depth of indenter immersion relative to the surface of the sample, and not to the frame of the device.
