Coating Surface Hardness Tester

The coating surface hardness tester applies a standard pressure to form an indentation on the coating surface, and the hardness value is calculated by measuring the length or depth of the indentation. It is used to evaluate the scratch resistance and wear resistance of coatings, and is employed in industries such as paint, electroplating, and plastics for quality control and process validation.
Selection
Select the appropriate scale (pencil/Shore/Barcol) based on the coating material and thickness, taking into account the rigidity of the substrate to avoid interference. The testing environment should maintain constant temperature and humidity. Choose models with optical measurement or digital display functions to ensure accurate readings, and ensure the calibration cycle complies with industry standards.
