The Mitutoyo HR-530 Rockwell Hardness Tester is a versatile, precision instrument designed for reliable hardness measurement across a wide range of materials. Supporting Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Plastics Rockwell (ASTM D785 / ISO 2039-2), and Light Force Brinell testing methods, the HR-530 combines multiple functions into a single, compact system. Its advanced electronic load control ensures consistent application of test forces, while the intuitive colour touch-panel interface makes operation simple with direct scale selection and automatic load settings.
Engineered for laboratory, quality assurance, and production environments, the HR-530 offers unique capabilities such as inside-ring testing (minimum 34 mm inner diameter, or 22 mm with an optional 5 mm diamond indenter) and curved surface correction, enabling accurate testing of bars, pipes, and spherical components without sample modification. Built-in statistical analysis tools provide maximum, minimum, average, and standard deviation values, along with X–R control charts and histograms, helping Canadian manufacturers meet strict quality standards.
Available in two models—the HR-530 standard model with a specimen capacity of 250 mm height × 150 mm depth, and the HR-530L extended model with a 395 mm height capacity—the system is adaptable to a variety of testing applications. With USB, RS-232C, and Digimatic connectivity, results can be easily exported for reporting and traceability.
The Mitutoyo HR-530 is a trusted solution for industries including automotive, aerospace, metals, and plastics, and is supported in Canada by Opti-Tech Scientific’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited service and calibration team.
