5.13 Indenter Shroud, Clamping Shield Options
Additional components can be used for testing in narrow confined areas or tight
locations. (See “Options & Accessories”). Optional indenter extensions and longer
indenter shrouds with or without longer clamping shields are often used. The indenter
is threaded on at the extension and the extension is tightened into place followed by
the extended shroud. (Refer to section 5.6 for changing indenters).
5.14 Testing Tapered Parts – Ball Swivel Anvil (Option)
Insert the ball swivel anvil into the elevating screw. Install the clamping shield. Loosen
the locking ring that holds the ball in place. Place tapered part on the flat spot on the
ball swivel and roughly orient it so that the top surface of the tapered part is roughly
level. Raise the elevating screw until the top tapered surface is clamped level. The
ball swivel locking ring may be tightened, if desired, for a series of tests on similar
parts. Perform the test as any other part is tested. Lower elevating screw. The ball
swivel is properly positioned for testing another part with identical orientation. (Refer
to “Options & Accessories).
