Description

The TB 5004 is a semi-automatic stationary bench-top hardness tester manufactured by ZIP LLC (Завод Испытательных Приборов — Plant of Testing Instruments), a Russian specialist in metrology equipment certified to ISO 9001:2015 (certificate No. СДС.ФР.СМ.00504.21).

The instrument measures metal hardness by the Brinell method in accordance with GOST 9012, covering a range of 4 to 450 HB with a standard steel ball indenter, or up to 650 HBW when fitted with an optional carbide ball. An electromechanical drive delivers the test load automatically and maintains it for a programmable dwell time of 5 to 300 seconds (accuracy ±3 s).

Seven selectable test forces range from 1.839 kN to 29.42 kN, all held within ±1% of nominal, with two additional loads available by special order. The TB 5004 supports two operating modes: conventional Brinell indentation measurement using a calibrated MPB-3 reading microscope, or depth-of-recovery measurement via a built-in dial indicator that also enables automated sorting of parts into predefined hardness groups.

The instrument carries ROSSTANDART type-approval certificate No. 44527 and is manufactured in a metrologically accredited laboratory (Rosaccreditation certificate RA.RU.312915).

With 120 mm clearance from the indenter axis to the frame and a maximum indenter-to-table distance of 250 mm, the tester accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes and geometries.

Features

🎯

Wide Hardness Range

Covers 4–450 HB with a standard steel ball indenter per GOST 9012, or 4–650 HBW with an optional carbide ball, serving both soft non-ferrous alloys and hardened steels.

⚡

Automatic Measurement Cycle

Electromechanical drive applies the test load fully automatically; dwell time is programmable from 5 to 300 seconds with accuracy within ±3 s.

⚖️

Seven Selectable Test Forces

Built-in forces from 1.839 kN to 29.42 kN cover the full Brinell standard range; each force is maintained within ±1% of nominal, with measurement error ≤±3%.

🔀

Dual Measurement Mode

Operates in classic Brinell mode (MPB-3 microscope) or depth-of-recovery mode using a built-in dial indicator, enabling rapid sorting of parts into hardness groups.

📏

Generous Work Clearance

120 mm clearance from the indenter axis to the frame and a maximum indenter-to-table distance of 250 mm allow testing of bulky castings, forgings, and large-section stock.

🏅

Full Metrological Certification

Holds ROSSTANDART type-approval certificate No. 44527; produced under ISO 9001:2015; metrological laboratory accredited by Rosaccreditation (certificate RA.RU.312915).

Buyer Benefits

Automatic load application and timed dwell eliminate operator variability and fatigue across high-volume inspection routines.
Two measurement methods on one machine — microscope Brinell and depth-of-recovery sorting — replace the need for separate instruments.
Seven load settings cover the entire Brinell range without manual weight changes, cutting test setup time significantly.
ROSSTANDART type-approval certification (No. 44527) satisfies mandatory metrological requirements for quality laboratories and acceptance testing.
Depth-of-recovery mode enables real-time go/no-go classification of parts into hardness groups, streamlining production-line sorting.
Optional carbide ball indenter extends usable range to 650 HBW, covering hardened tool steels and wear-resistant alloys on the same machine.
ISO 9001:2015 production and Rosaccreditation laboratory accreditation provide full traceability confidence for audit and regulatory purposes.

Applications

Incoming and outgoing quality control of metal billets, castings, and forgings in mechanical engineering plants. Heat treatment verification — confirming that quench-and-temper, annealing, or case-hardening processes achieved the specified hardness target. Automated sorting of production batches into hardness groups using the depth-of-recovery dial-indicator mode. Research and development laboratories requiring a broad hardness range from soft non-ferrous metals (from 4 HB) to hardened structural steels (up to 450 HB). Aerospace and heavy engineering component inspection where GOST 9012 and metrological certification are contractually required. Metallurgical laboratories conducting acceptance testing of rolled products, plates, and structural steel sections. Bearing and gear manufacturing — verifying surface and case hardness on large parts that fit within the 250 mm table clearance.
