Thin Plate Hardness Tester

The thin sheet hardness tester applies pressure to sheet materials through an indenter and converts the indentation depth or diameter into a hardness value. It is used to test the compressive resistance of thin sheets such as metals and plastics, and to determine the softness or hardness of materials in quality inspection and production control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the material thickness matching the indenter range. Use Rockwell scales for metal materials and Shore scales for plastics. Check whether the instrument's accuracy meets the testing standards, ensure the operation interface is simple, and the indenter material should be wear-resistant. Calibration cycles and spare parts supply must be stable.
