Ball Indentation Hardness Measurement Device

The ball indentation hardness tester measures the diameter or depth of an indentation made by a steel ball under a fixed load to reflect the material's ability to resist plastic deformation. It is used for hardness testing of soft materials such as coatings and plastics, helping to assess the degree of material curing or wear resistance.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of the material's hardness range with the instrument's measurement scale, ensure the indenter size corresponds to the testing standards, verify that the load accuracy meets the detection requirements, ensure the operation interface aligns with the personnel's habits, and confirm that the equipment structure fits the laboratory environment and space.
