Surface Treatment Hardness Tester

A surface treatment hardness tester applies a standard pressure to the material surface through an indenter and converts the indentation depth or diameter into a hardness value. It is used to measure the hardness of coatings, platings, and other surface-treated layers, and is employed in industries such as electroplating and spray painting for quality control and process validation.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement range to the sample hardness, the indenter type to the material properties, and the test force to meet standard requirements. Ensure the sample thickness satisfies the tenfold rule of indentation depth. For on-site use, opt for portable models, while for laboratory use, choose benchtop models.

Pencil Hardness Tester for Rapid Evaluation of Coating Surface Hardness
The pencil hardness tester is a tool used for rapidly assessing the relative hardness of coating surfaces through standardized scratch tests. It employs a series of pencil leads with known hardness levels, which are drawn across the coating under a fixed load and angle. The hardness grade, ranging from 6B to 9H, is determined based on whether a permanent scratch is produced.
Buchholz indentation tester measures the indentation hardness of varnish.
The Buchholz indentation test is a method for measuring the indentation hardness of coatings such as varnishes. It involves applying a specific indenter to the coating surface under a standard load, and after unloading, the length of the residual indentation is measured. A longer length indicates lower hardness.
