Designed for the accurate hardness testing of small precision parts, thin materials, case-hardened layers, and all sorts of steel components, the 900-398 covers the load range from 1 kg to 50 kg with digital technology putting heavy-duty Vickers test forces into a precise, controllable, load cell-driven system that delivers consistent and reproducible results across all nine selectable test forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 900-398 is engineered to produce a clear indentation and a more precise measurement. By means of a load cell closed circuit system, the CPU controls the testing force through load, dwell, and unload automatically, allowing for the highest degree of accuracy. The large LCD displays the measuring method, testing force value, indentation length, hardness value, dwell time, and the number of measurements on screen all alongside full hardness conversions accessible directly on the display or on a connected PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAvailable in two software variants, the \u003cstrong\u003e900-398A\u003c\/strong\u003e includes manual measurement software for mouse-click diagonal measurement, while the \u003cstrong\u003e900-398B\u003c\/strong\u003e features automatic edge detection software that identifies and measures Vickers indentation diagonals without operator input. The 900-398A software version can be upgraded to the 900-398B version at any time, protecting the investment as workflow needs evolve. Both models ship complete with a digital video camera, adapter, USB cable, built-in mini printer with RS-232 interface, and software. A 5-year warranty and free lifetime technical support are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMacro Vickers Range: 1–50 kgf with 9 Selectable Test Forces\u003c\/strong\u003e - Covers the full macro Vickers load range from 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 kgf across a testing range of 1–2967 HV, providing the force flexibility needed to accurately test case-hardened steel, precision components, thin materials, coatings, and structural steel in a single instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosed-Loop Load Cell for CPU-Controlled Test Cycles\u003c\/strong\u003e - A load cell closed circuit system feeds force data directly to the onboard CPU, which automatically controls loading, dwell, and unloading with a precision that manual or spring-based macro Vickers testers cannot match, eliminating the force overshoot and inconsistency that leads to indentation variation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Software Variants: Manual (900-398A) or Auto Edge Detection (900-398B)\u003c\/strong\u003e - The 900-398A uses manual measurement software for mouse-click diagonal measurement on a PC display, while the 900-398B provides automatic edge detection software that locates and measures Vickers indentation diagonals without operator input with an upgrade path from A to B available at any time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Mini Printer with RS-232 Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e - An integrated mini printer allows immediate on-the-spot hardness test result documentation without a PC connection, while the RS-232 interface enables direct data transmission to external computers for record keeping, statistical analysis, and traceability reporting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVideo Camera \u0026amp; Measurement Software Included as Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e - Every 900-398 ships complete with a digital video camera, camera adapter, USB cable, and measurement software - displaying all diagonal length measurements, hardness values, data statistics, and scale conversions on both the onboard LCD and a connected PC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Vickers \u0026amp; Knoop Testing - ASTM E-384 Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e - Designed to test in both Vickers (HV) and Knoop (HK) hardness scales with the optional Knoop indentor, conforming to ASTM E-384\/92 for traceable macro hardness results across metallography laboratories, heat treat facilities, production QC environments, and failure analysis applications. 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"277\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"343\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetails\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900-398A (Manual Software) \/ 900-398B (Auto Software)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVickers (HV) \/ Knoop (HK, optional indentor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTesting Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 HV – 2,967 HV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Forces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 kgf (9.807–490.3 N)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForce Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoad Cell Closed-Loop — CPU Controlled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarriage Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic (load \/ hold \/ unload)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurret Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual Turret\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroscope Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100× and 200×\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObjective Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10× and 20× (selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDwell Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0–60 seconds (selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
