Metal hardness testing
A reliable way to determine the steel grade and its tensile strength
IN-SITU TESTING
Test carried out on site using appropriate equipment and standardised procedures to ensure reliable and actionable results.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE
No impact on the structure. The test is carried out without material sampling, allowing the structure to be characterised while preserving its integrity.
MECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Measurements obtained using specialised instruments to characterise the mechanical properties of materials under actual site conditions.
Why perform a hardness test?
- Allows rapid estimation of the tensile strength of the metal and identification of the steel grade.
- Enables the comparison of results against reference values to verify metal compliance or support material grade identification.
- Can easily be combined with non-destructive testing methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the inspected structure.
