Telebrinell Comparator Bar

Telebrinell comparison testing uses a calibrated reference bar and controlled impact to compare indentation diameters for practical field hardness assessment of large components.

Service scope

  • Large castings and forgings
  • Field locations with limited access
  • Maintenance and fabrication checks

Inspection approach

Gripco plans the work around the component, material, access conditions and required acceptance standard. Equipment checks and calibration are completed before examination, and relevant indications are evaluated by qualified personnel under the approved procedure.

Typical applications

  • Large castings and forgings
  • Field locations with limited access
  • Maintenance and fabrication checks

Reporting

Reports identify the reference bar, indentation locations, measured diameters and calculated Brinell hardness values.
