HARDNESS TESTING SYSTEMS

Abstract:

A system for measuring a mechanical property of a material or component under test comprises a hardness testing device with a computing device. The hardness testing device is configured to measure at least one measurement value indicative of a hardness of a material or component under test. The computing device includes a display, a processor, and memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the hardness testing device to measure a measurement value indicative of hardness of a material. Executing the instructions further causes the processor to control to save testing data to a database. The computing device accesses the database, calculates a parameter related to hardness, and displays at least one of the portion of the database and the parameter related to hardness.
