Rockwell & Rockwell Superficial tests consists of forcing an indentor (Diamond or Ball) into the surface
of a test piece in two steps i.e. first with preliminary test force and thereafter with additional test force
and then measuring depth of indentation after removal of additional test force (Remaining preliminary
test force active) for measurement of hardness value.
Brinell test consists of forcing a hardened ball into surface of a test piece with a specified test-force and
measuring the diameter of indentation for evaluation of Brinell hardness number.
Operation :
For Rockwell & Rockwell Superficial Test :
In case of RASN series machines for Rockwell & Rockwell superficial tests a preliminary test force in
first applied and then indicator is automatically set for zero. Quickly thereafter an additional test force
is applied without removing the preliminary test force. When the penetration is stabilised, the
additional test force is removed and the hardness number is shown directly on the indicator.
For Brinell Test :
The operation is exactly same as above. However, the diameter of impression is measured outside of
machine by Brinell microscope. Brinell hardness number is found out by referring corresponding
hardness tables showing hardness number against dia. of indentation for specified ball diameter and
test force.
ARUN new RASN series of Hardness Testing Machines come with much improved design and
look with following major design changes.
1) The machine body is having a taper front look and a big size dial gauge in the front. The machine is
powder coated for far better look. The paint shade do not fade and machine looks like new over
year.
2) The elevating screw of machine is guided in a hardened and ground bush, not allowing movement
of elevating screw more than 0.05 mm when raised to full height. The accessory is returned for years
together due to hardened bush.
3) A hardened and ground stepped bush is fixed on top of main screw for location and rest surface.
This guarantees no change in results due to rough handling of test table or test piece. It means a
trouble free long life machine accuracy.
4) An antifriction linear bearing with almost no clearance is provided for a perfect vertical movement
of loading plunger with minimum friction. This enable testing of small dia. pin or ball upto 3 mm
dia.
5) All machine models are provided with automatic zero setting dial gauge or digital readout. Hence
zero setting at every test is avoided.
6) All four models confirm to respective standard as under.

Principal of Operation:
Operation of the machines is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen to a separately housed load indicator. The hydraulic system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on rupture of test pieces.
Load is applied by a hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the pendulum dynamometer system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamometer is also of self-lubricating design. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamometer is transferred t hrough a lever system to a pendulum. Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates the load indicator pointer and the autographic recorder. The deflection of the pendulum represent the absolute load applied on the test specimen.Return movement of the pendulum is effectively damped to absorb energy in the event of sudden breakage of a specimen.
This consists of a hydraulic cylinder motor with chain and sprocket drive and a table coupled with the ram of the hydraulic cylinder, mounted on to a robust base. The cylinder and the ram are individually lapped to eliminate friction. The upper cross-head is rigidly fixed to the table by two straigh columns. The lower cross-head is connected to two screwed columns which are driven by a motor. Axial loading of the ram is ensured be reveling the cylinder and ram of of any possible side loading by the provision of ball seatings.
An elongation scale with a minimum graduation of 1 mm, is provided to measure the deformation of the specimen.
Tension test is conducted by gripping the test specimen between the upper and lower cross-heads,
Compression, transverse, bending, shear and hardness tests are conducted between the lower cross head and the table.
The lower cross-head can be raised or lowered rapidly by operating the screwed columns thus facilitating ease of fixing of the test specimen.
Control Panel :
The control Panel consists of a power pack complete with drive motor and an oil tank, control valves a pendulum dynamometer a load indicator system and an autographic recorder.
Power Pack :
The power pack generates the maximum pressure of 200 kgf/cm2 the hydraulic pump provides continuously non-pulsating oil flow. Hence the load application is very smooth.
Hydraulic Controls :

Application :
ARUN Electronic Universal Testing Machine is designed for testing metals and other materials under
tension, compression bending, transverse and shear loads. Hardness test on metals can also conducted.
Principal of Operation :
Operation of the machine is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen through pressure
transducer to a separately house load indicator. The system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load
through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on rupture of test
pieces.
Load is applied by a hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the pressure
transducer housed in the control panel. The transducer gives the signal to the electronic display unit
corresponding to the load exerted by the main ram.Simultaneously the digital electronic fitted on the
straining unit gives the mechanical displacement to the electronic display unit. Both the signals are
processed by the microprocessor and load and displacement is displayed on the digital readouts
simultaneously.

'ARUN' Portable Rockwell Hardness Tester is developed to meet the demands of a light weight instrument which can be used to carry out tests by a universally recognised method of Hardness testing.
This hardness tester can be used in variety of applications and is readialy adjustable to a wide range of sizes and shapes which are difficult to test in a standard table model hardness tester.
The machine is designed for carrying out Rockwell tests comparable to table model hardness tester because, the basic things, such as shape of penetrator, method of penetration, measurement and loads are same in both systems.
The photograph on the back side gives the general arrangement of the hardness tester.The system carries a weight bar (8) pivoted at central point. When the load is applied by the loading screw (9), at one end of this weigh bar, it is deflected and the other end of this bar carrying penetrator forces down into the test specimen.
This deflection of weight bar which is proportional to the applied load is indicated on the loading dial indicator (1). Besides this loading dial indicator, there is one penetration measuring indicator (14) which measures the actual penetration of the penterator into the test specimen is read directly on this indicator.
