Pendulum Rocker Hardness Tester for Paint Films

The pendulum-type film hardness tester measures the hardness by swinging a steel pendulum on the surface of the film and determining the swing decay time. When the pendulum contacts the film, the resistance of the film slows down the swing, and the decay time is inversely proportional to the hardness. It is used to test the surface hardness of coatings and inks after drying, thereby controlling the quality of the coating.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the paint film thickness range with the instrument's measuring range. The pendulum material should be suitable for the sample being tested. Check the precision of the pendulum axis and the friction coefficient, and confirm the validity of the calibration certificate. Environmental temperature and humidity affect measurement results, so operations should be conducted under standard conditions. Compare the measurement repeatability and operational convenience of different models.

The pendulum hardness tester tests the scratch resistance limit of varnish.
The pendulum hardness tester measures the hardness of varnish by observing the attenuation of the pendulum's swing on the coating surface, with faster attenuation indicating a softer coating. The scratch resistance of varnish depends not only on hardness but also on elasticity and toughness. Hardness testing sets the basic threshold for scratch resistance.
Use of pendulum hardness tester for paint film curing degree assessment in the laboratory.
The pendulum hardness tester evaluates the hardness of a paint film by measuring the decay time of a pendulum swinging on the surface of the film, where a longer time indicates a harder film and a higher degree of curing.
Pendulum hardness tester measures the damping hardness of powder coatings.
This article introduces the method of testing the damping hardness of powder coatings using a pendulum hardness tester. The test is based on the principle of energy attenuation, where the hardness is reflected by the time it takes for the amplitude of the pendulum to decay as it swings on the coating surface, with a longer time indicating a harder coating.
Pendulum hardness tester measures coating damping hardness.
This article explains how a pendulum hardness tester measures the damping hardness of coatings. The principle involves evaluating the hardness and elasticity of the coating based on the time it takes for the amplitude of a pendulum's swing to decay on the coating surface. A longer decay time indicates a harder coating.

This article compares two pendulum methods for measuring coating hardness. The choice of method should consider material hardness and testing conditions, and both methods require standardized calibration and sample preparation.
Key Operational Points and Influencing Factors of Pencil Hardness Method for Determining Coating Film Hardness
The pencil hardness test is a method used to evaluate the scratch resistance of a coating by making marks on the paint film with pencils of known hardness. During the operation, a uniformly cured sample is prepared, and calibrated pencils are used to make marks at a 45-degree angle with a fixed force, aiming to identify the highest hardness grade that does not scratch through the paint film.
