General Purpose Hardness Tester

The universal hardness tester applies a fixed pressure to the material through an indenter, measuring the depth or diameter of the indentation to calculate the hardness value. It is used to test the compressive resistance of materials such as metals and plastics, monitoring material quality in production lines and laboratories.
Selection
When selecting, consider the type and hardness range of the test material, confirm that the indenter shape and test force meet standard requirements, verify the equipment accuracy and calibration certificates, check the clarity of the indentation measurement system, and ensure the operation interface aligns with the user's habits.

Pencil Hardness Tester for Rapid Evaluation of Coating Surface Hardness
The pencil hardness tester is a tool used for rapidly assessing the relative hardness of coating surfaces through standardized scratch tests. It employs a series of pencil leads with known hardness levels, which are drawn across the coating under a fixed load and angle. The hardness grade, ranging from 6B to 9H, is determined based on whether a permanent scratch is produced.
Buchholz indentation tester measures the indentation hardness of varnish.
The Buchholz indentation test is a method for measuring the indentation hardness of coatings such as varnishes. It involves applying a specific indenter to the coating surface under a standard load, and after unloading, the length of the residual indentation is measured. A longer length indicates lower hardness.
