Nanoindenter – Agilent XP

Nanoindenter XP (Agilent) is used for instrumental hardness measurements and scratch tests. It is possible to examine hardness and modulus continuously during loading and so take depth profiles.

Installed options:

  • Continuous Stiffness Modul (CSM)
  • Lateral Force Sensor
  • High Load cell
  • Optical microscope
  • Testworks 4 software

Specifications:

  • Maximum load 500 mN (or 10 N with high load cell)
  • Resolution depth <0.01 nm
  • Resolution load 50 nN
