Hardness Testing

Portable hardness testing evaluates material response to indentation and supports verification of heat treatment, weld condition and material consistency without removing the component.

Service scope

Typical applications

  • Welds and heat-affected zones
  • Pressure equipment and piping
  • Forgings, castings and fabricated components

Reporting

Readings, locations, test method, conversion basis where applicable and acceptance criteria are documented.
