Coating Hardness Pencil Tester

The film hardness tester applies pressure to the surface of a film through an indenter and calculates the hardness value based on the depth or area of the indentation. It is used to evaluate the scratch resistance of materials such as coatings and plastics, and is applied in quality inspection and production control.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the film thickness to the indenter range, ensure the testing standards comply with industry specifications, compare the stability of different loading mechanisms, check the validity of calibration certificates, and evaluate the user-friendliness of the operation interface and the compatibility of data output formats.
