Dual Scale Hardness Tester

The dual-scale hardness tester uses a spring-loaded indenter to vertically press into the material surface, allowing direct reading of hardness values in both Webster and Barcol scales. It is used to test the compressive resistance of soft metals and non-metallic materials such as aluminum and plastics, enabling quick assessment of material hardness on production lines and in warehouse settings.
Selection
When selecting, ensure the thickness of the material being tested is greater than 1 millimeter, and use a specialized support for curved materials. Match the corresponding scale based on the expected hardness range of the material: Webster 0-20 is suitable for softer materials, while Barcol 0-100 covers a wider range. Consider the ease of replacing the indenter and the availability of calibration blocks.
