Why Choose This Model

Manual control for low-volume testing

The operator sets the indentation, focuses the image and measures each diagonal directly.

Useful for training and routine QC

Well suited to teaching laboratories and low-volume quality checks where careful manual practice is appropriate.

Entry point into the MMV range

Retains the essential Vickers and Knoop test functions without digital reading or machine automation.

Typical Applications

Educational Laboratories

Students can set the indentation, focus the image and measure the diagonals directly.

Routine QC

Fits recurring verification work where prepared samples and controlled operator practice are already established.

Heat Treatment

Helps assess hardness response after heat treatment on correctly prepared and supported specimens.

Tool Room

Useful for routine checks on tool materials, sections and heat-treated components.

Case Depth

Manual indent placement along a prepared cross-section records the case-depth hardness profile.

Failure Analysis

Localized hardness results add material evidence to a broader failure investigation.
