Manufacturer and Exporter of Hardness Testing Machine to United States
FIE supplies Hardness Testing Machine to independent testing laboratories, heat treaters, steel service centres and manufacturers across the United States. Machines are built to the international test methods US laboratories work to, at a cost structure that compares favourably with domestic brands.
US materials testing demand sits in the energy corridor around Houston, the automotive belt through Michigan and Ohio, the steel producing regions of Pennsylvania and Alabama, and the metals and machining base around Chicago. Independent laboratories, captive QC departments, commercial heat treaters and university research groups all run continuous mechanical testing programmes, and nearly all of them work under an accreditation scheme.
US hardness testing is governed by ASTM E18, E10 and E92, with E140 conversion tables in constant use. Beyond the methods themselves, two audit regimes drive equipment requirements: CQI-9 in automotive heat treating and Nadcap accreditation in aerospace, both of which require documented, periodically verified hardness testers with traceable test blocks.
FIE machines are in service across Houston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Birmingham and Los Angeles. Delivery, installation and after-sales support are arranged across the energy corridor around Houston, the automotive belt through Michigan and Ohio, the steel producing regions of Pennsylvania and Alabama, and the metals and machining base around Chicago.
Our product range includes several models tailored to different testing requirements and budgets:
The fastest method for routine production checks on hardened steel. The standard choice where a QC section has to clear hundreds of parts per shift.
For thin coatings, small parts and case-depth traverses. The pyramid indent allows micro-measurement across a component cross-section.
Suited to coarse-grained materials such as cast iron, forgings and foundry products, where a large indent gives a more representative reading.
One machine covering multiple hardness scales. Saves bench space and cost for laboratories handling mixed materials and varied customer specifications.
Automatic reading, result storage and digital reporting. Removes operator reading error and leaves a data trail for quality audits.
- ASTM E8 / E8M tension testing of metallic materials
- ASTM A370 mechanical testing of steel products, and A615 / A706 for reinforcing bar
- ASTM E4 force verification of testing machines, with NIST-traceable calibration
- ASTM E18, E10, E92 and E384 Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers and microindentation hardness
- ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation via A2LA, PJLA or IAS
- CQI-9 heat treat system assessment and Nadcap aerospace requirements
- High Accuracy: Precision loading systems giving repeatable readings across different operators.
- Durable Design: Rigid frames that hold calibration on a production floor, not only in a climate-controlled laboratory.
- Full Scale Coverage: Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell and combined scales within one product family.
- Customizable: Anvils, indenters and worktables matched to your component geometry.
- Audit-Ready Output: Touch-screen models read, store and report automatically, eliminating manual transcription error.
- Export-Ready: Manufactured in India, shipped worldwide, with long-term spare parts support.
- Commercial Heat Treaters: CQI-9 and AMS 2750 compliant hardness verification.
- Aerospace Suppliers: Nadcap heat treat audits requiring documented tester verification.
- Automotive PPAP: Hardness data as part of production part approval submissions.
- Tool and Die Shops: Incoming tool steel inspection and post-treatment confirmation.
- Metallurgical Laboratories: Case depth traverses and microindentation work to ASTM E384.
FIE exports to all US states. Machines ship from India to major container ports including Houston, Savannah, Los Angeles and Newark, with installation, commissioning and operator training arranged on site. FIE handles export documentation, packing for sea freight and coordination with your clearing agent. On arrival, installation and commissioning are carried out at your facility, together with operator training. Periodic recalibration, annual service contracts and long-term spare parts availability keep the machine working for its full service life.
FIE has manufactured material testing machines for more than 67 years and exports worldwide. Machines are built in our own facilities in Maharashtra, India, which keeps cost structure competitive against European and American brands while meeting the same international test methods. That combination is the reason buyers in USA specify FIE.
