Auto-Hardness Tester

Automatic hardness testers apply pressure to materials via a motor-driven indenter and convert the indentation depth or area into hardness values. They are used to test the compressive resistance of materials such as coatings and plastics, enabling rapid hardness testing in production lines and laboratories.
Selection
Select the corresponding scale (Rockwell/Brinell/Shore) based on the material type, ensure the test range covers the sample hardness, consider sample thickness for indenter travel compatibility, and check if the device has data export and automatic calibration functions.
