(camera) to measure ; 3) Just click red button on camera, the indentation image will display on computer

software window. 4) In software can do measure and analysis work.

Test Principle:
The typical test uses a 10 millimetres (0.39 in) diameter steel ball as an indenter with a 3000 kgf (29 kN; 6600 lbf)
force. For softer materials, a smaller force is used; for harder materials, a tungsten carbide ball is substituted for
the steel ball.

Application Fields:

1. Quality control of Industrial production (machinery manufacturing, metallurgy plants, etc.)

2. Research & Inspection of Inspection Institution and universities laboratories.

3. Ferrous and nonferrous metals, Hardened steel, tempered steel, annealed steel, hardened steel, sheet of
various thicknesses, carbide materials, powder metallurgy materials, etc.

(1) Shiny spots on surface (2) Large scratches (3) No light intensity contrast
 Auto-measure method: Under typical circumstances, the indentation image shows intensity contrast
Mr. Jack Zhou M: +86-13524552810 E: sales@hiebp.com www.hiebp.com
 between the indentation and the sample surface, the default Brightness method is used, and the

parameter 1 is set at default 2. In some cases as shown in above pic (1), the sample surface shows

shiny grain, this parameter should be set to 1. For sample surfaces with large scratches as shown in

above pic (2), this parameter should be set a large value, e.g, 6. If in cases there is no light intensity

contrastas shown in pic (3), the Auto-measure method Edge should be chosen.

Detailed Introduction:

Main interface

 mode, which can be chosen at its dropdown list. If manual mode is turned on the mouse cursor shape will

become , or if toggled off. Under measure by circle mode, mouse drag from one end of the

indentation diameter to the other end. If under measure by major-minor axes(applicable in cases of elliptical

or elongated indentation shapes), mouse drag separately on the major and minor axes

 saves the raw test data including indentation images to a file with .ivd file extension

 open the saved data files

 or （displayed depending on settings which is to be explained）generates WORD or EXCEL test report

 clears all the measurement display and make ready for a new sample measurement

Below buttons are on the tool bar:

 to take a snap shot of the video

 or to show or hide a reference cross on the video or image

 to move the reference cross back to the image center (it may be moved by mouse drag at the cross

point)

 or at the lower bottom UI zooms in or out the image

Statistics: Displays the maximum, minimum, range, standard deviation etc for the measurement data in the

result table. If RP is unchecked in the data point row, then this data point will not be counted in.

Settings:

Press to invoke the main test setting dialog, where user may select the test load, setup auto-measurement

parameters, configure data archiving and report formats etc.

Mr. Jack Zhou M: +86-13524552810 E: sales@hiebp.com www.hiebp.com

Test Settings:

automatically

 Operator: a report entry

 HB upper/lower limits: for warning marking and for Cp and Cpk calculation

Data archiving settings:

 Auto save statistics: If checked and Save in folder is provided, the statistics data will be automatically

saved in an EXCEL file named stat_summary_hb.xls in which the data rows are keyed by Part name and

Part ID. The button under the statistics display let user open this file directly. Note this file must

be closed before a measurement takes place otherwise new data can’t be written in

 Auto save data：If checked and Save in folder is provided, the measurement raw data including images is

saved automatically with extension .ivd files named by part name and part ID. These files can be opened

Mr. Jack Zhou M: +86-13524552810 E: sales@hiebp.com www.hiebp.com

 by Open Data File button in the measurement result table UI

Report Settings:

 Format: WORD or EXCEL

 Save in folder: If provided, the generated WORD or EXCEL report files will be automatically saved in the

specified folder, with files named by part name, part ID and the time stamp. If Save in folder is left blank,

then the report auto saving will be disabled. To browse and select a folder, click the browse button

 Delete last save report file: If checked, the last saved report file will be deleted when a new report file is

generated

 Data, Indentation Images, and Image Size : Can be checked or unchecked or configured for reporting

Auto Measurement Image Processing Parameters：

 Auto-measure method：Under typical circumstances, the indentation image shows intensity contrast

between the indentation and the sample surface, the default Brightness method is used, and the

parameter 1 is set at default 2. In some cases as shown in below #1, the sample surface shows shiny

grain, this parameter should be set to 1. For sample surfaces with large scratches as shown below #2,

this parameter should be set a large value, e.g, 6. If in cases there is no light intensity contrastas shown

in #3, the Auto-measure method Edge should be chosen.

Camera Settings：

Click to bring out the camera setting dialog, user may change camera settings such as exposure time and

global gain to adjust image light intensity

Conversion: Select the conversion table and the test scale to be converted to, the converted results will be

shown in the measurement result table in a separate column. To delete the column, just click on the Delete

Converted Hardness Column button .

Calibration:

Select main menu Calibration -> Calibration viewer, pass the password check (or click OK if no password is set).

In the calibration viewer dialog, user may select calibration, rename a calibration, unload current calibration, or

delete calibrations.

Mr. Jack Zhou M: +86-13524552810 E: sales@hiebp.com www.hiebp.com

Two ways to calibrate with:

1) Standard test block: Unload current calibration if it is loaded, measure the indentation on the standard test

block and enter the HB value of the test block. For better accuracy, system provides function to re-calibrate

with average on multiple indentation points. To do this, measure on multiple indentation points on the test

block, click on Recalibrate with sample average button and enter the HB value of the test block, current

calibration is re-calibrated and saved.

2) Optical ruler: Take a snap shot with the system camera on an optical ruler, click on the Select main menu

Calibration -> Manual calibration, mouse drag move from one line to another (separated far enough), enter

the physical distance between the two lines, and enter a name for the calibration.

On-screen keyboard:

If the On Screen Keyboard is enabled and under Software on the dialog by selecting main menu File->View/Edit

configurations, the software will invoke its built-in On Screen Keyboard whenever needed. Note if Use System

On-Screen Keyboard is checked, then the On-Screen Keyboard by the operating system that comes with PC will be

invoked, in this case IME for foreign language is accessible.

Report:

An example WORD report is as shown below. The WORD and EXCEL report template files hb_report_zh.doc and

hb_report_zh.xls are under the installation bin directory, and they can be customized, e.g, with LOGO and title etc.
