Paint Film Pendulum Damping Hardness Tester

The pendulum hardness tester for paint films measures hardness by the decay angle of the pendulum swinging on the surface of the paint film. The pendulum is released from a fixed angle, and the harder the paint film, the slower the swing decay. It is used to detect the surface hardness of coatings and inks after curing, guiding adjustments in production processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range to match the hardness of the sample being tested, and ensure the instrument complies with standards such as GB/T 1730. Pay attention to the substrate flatness requirements and the influence of environmental temperature and humidity. Compare the applicability of different pendulum types and verify the validity of the calibration certificate.
