Surface Vickers Hardness Tester

The surface Vickers hardness tester applies a fixed load on the sample surface using a diamond indenter to create a rhombus-shaped indentation, and measures the diagonal length to calculate the hardness value. It is used for testing the surface hardness of materials such as coatings and plastics, to evaluate the degree of coating curing or the wear resistance of materials.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material's hardness range with the load range, and ensure the sample thickness is more than 10 times the indentation depth. The indenter should be intact and free from defects, and the reading device should be clear and accurate. The environment should have minimal vibration, and the operation should be convenient enough to meet the frequency demands of daily testing.
