Default Still Looking for manual for an FIE hardness tester

I am still in need of a manual for correct assembly of this FIE hardness tester. When I bought the tester along with some other equipment, one of the movers knocked this machine over and all the insides either got knocked out or misplaced. I have them all put back inside, but do not know how to get it adjusted for using it. I have tried several time on the internet, but their 'downloads' only reveal more marketing information. It is entirely possible that I am not downloading correctly or their may be a compatibility issue with my computer. At any rate I have been unable to gather the info that I need. I have found (4) websites and one U-tube video, all to no help.

Can anyone help me gather this info? I would be more than willing to pay for a copy. Thanks.

That stands for: Fuel Industries and Equipment, the one where I used to work years ago looked the same but had a big bellows(like a rack boot) protecting the threaded adjuster rod. Also had a lot of adapters for measuring shafts and pins. We used it to test hardened pins and pintles for Forklifts repairs and some diesel injectors. Not sure if the company still exist or they might have been bought out.
Well just did a google search but couldn't find your model. Try and give them a call.

Sorry can't tell you how it works cause I never used it, just asked what it was and what it did.

Good morning John, thanks for taking the time to respond. I have tried to contact each of the now (5) websites that I have encountered and have not been able to get a connection to that phone number either. I have sent 4 emails and none are returned. I will keep trying because I want to be able to monitor the hardness of the material and the welds that I am working with.

Will, check out this site. http://mcspt.com. They are supposed to have a large selection of manuals although personally I contacted them for a manual for my late, a Kohema, and they never got back.....but worth a try.

You might try these guys.

The machines might be similar enough to use their instruction manual. At the very least, they are still in business and they will talk to you. Do you have any of the little round hardness standards?

Will, take a look at

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb...tester-193040/

I asked about how to use them after buying one and got some helpful information.

The link to the rockwell.pdf file in that thread is bad but I've got a copy of it on my website:

That should at least get you a start.

cheers,
Michael
