A Brinell test may be included in the testing protocol for each PIP test done. This will provide you with the Brinell Hardness in addition to the plasticity characteristics of the material.
In order to activate the Brinell test, make sure that you have an active CORSICA+ subscription and enable Brinell Hardness in the Indentation test setup screen.
When this is enabled, an additional indent will be made in the test location. The software will control the load for the tip size installed in the PLX-Benchtop and the contact area will be calculated based on the residual profile.
More information on Brinell Hardness tests is available here.
