Rockwell Shore Hardness Tester

The Rockwell and Shore hardness testers measure hardness by pressing an indenter into the material surface under a fixed load and converting the indentation depth or diameter into a hardness value. They are used to assess the compressive resistance of materials such as metals and plastics and to determine the softness or hardness of materials in quality control.
Selection
Select the indenter type based on the material thickness: use a spherical indenter for soft materials and a diamond indenter for hard materials. Consider the testing accuracy requirements: choose a low range for thin specimens and a high range for thick specimens. Refer to industry standards to determine the test pressure range, ensuring the indentation remains within a readable range.
