The NEXUS 8003B is a Brinell hardness tester with a test load ranging from 5kgf/49N until 3000kgf/29kN. 
Beside the testing and indentation measurement with a Brinell microscope the NEXUS 8003B also has the option of Brinell depth (HBT) procedures (Model 8003HBT, Automatic Brinell hardness testing by measuring indentation depth).
