Coating Film Hardness Tester

The film hardness tester measures the coating's resistance to deformation through indentation or scratching methods. A steel ball or needle tip contacts the coating under standard pressure, and the hardness is determined based on the indentation size or scratch grade. It is used for testing the surface hardness of paints, plastics, and other materials to monitor coating quality.
Selection
When selecting, consider the test standards corresponding to the methods: the pencil method is suitable for soft coatings, while the pendulum method is used for flat surfaces. Ensure that the load range covers the sample types, and the indenter material must be wear-resistant. The equipment should have calibration capabilities, a simple and user-friendly operation interface, and a sturdy structure to minimize the impact of vibrations.
