Swing Hardness Measurement Instrument

The swing hardness tester measures the surface hardness of materials through a pendulum-type damping motion, where the amplitude attenuation when the pendulum rod contacts the sample reflects the hardness value. It is used to test the scratch resistance of coatings, plastics, and other surface layers, commonly employed in laboratories for quality control purposes.
Selection
When selecting, consider the sample thickness and flatness to match the corresponding pendulum type; verify the swing cycle requirements according to the standard method; confirm the validity of the calibration certificate; and ensure that the environmental temperature and humidity control capabilities meet the basic testing conditions.
