Hardness Testing
Our hardness testing service provides fast, accurate, and reliable material hardness measurement using the advanced Proceq Equotip 540 Hardness Tester. This portable, industry-proven system enables efficient testing of components both in-house and on-site, helping clients verify material properties, quality, and compliance with project specifications.
We routinely support customers across the oil and gas, offshore, subsea, power generation, fabrication, and manufacturing sectors, delivering hardness testing on a wide range of materials, weldments, forgings, castings, pipework, pressure-containing components, and heat-treated products.
Hardness testing plays a critical role in assessing the mechanical properties and integrity of materials. Elevated or reduced hardness values can indicate issues with heat treatment processes, material condition, or manufacturing controls. Verifying hardness levels helps ensure components meet specified requirements and are suitable for their intended service environment.
Using the Proceq Equotip 540, our experienced technicians can obtain rapid and repeatable hardness measurements with minimal disruption to production schedules. Results can be correlated to a range of hardness scales, providing clients with clear and reliable data to support quality assurance and material verification requirements.
Whether testing parent material, welds, heat-affected zones, or completed components, we apply proven inspection methodologies to ensure that all measurements are representative, traceable, and in accordance with applicable industry standards and client specifications.
