Non-metal Hardness Tester

Non-metallic hardness testers apply a fixed pressure to the surface of a material using an indenter and calculate the hardness value based on the depth or area of the indentation. They are used to test the compressive resistance of materials such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, and are applied in quality control and material comparison.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material's hardness range with the indenter type; the sample thickness should be at least 10 times the indentation depth. Use corresponding fixtures for curved samples, opt for portable devices in production environments, and use benchtop machines in laboratories. Choose scales such as Shore or Barcol according to the testing standards.
