Pointer-type Hardness Tester

The dial hardness tester presses a spring-loaded indenter into the material surface, and the dial displays the indentation depth, which is then converted into a hardness value. It is used to assess the compressive resistance of surfaces of materials such as coatings and plastics, and in quality control to evaluate the degree of material curing and wear resistance.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the hardness range of the material being tested with the instrument's measurement range. The shape of the indenter should correspond to the standard testing method. Check the stability of the pointer's return to zero, ensure the load accuracy complies with industry standards, and ensure the structural design facilitates on-site operation and data reading.
