Gripco Inspection Services
Hydraulic Brinell
Hydraulic Brinell testing applies a controlled load through a ball indenter, enabling direct hardness assessment on suitable components when conventional bench equipment is impractical.
Service scope
- Heavy components and forgings
- Shop and field hardness verification
- Quality-control and heat-treatment 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
- Heavy components and forgings
- Shop and field hardness verification
- Quality-control and heat-treatment checks
Reporting
Recorded information includes applied load, indenter, dwell time, indentation measurement and reported hardness.
