Downward pressure hardness Tester

A push-type hardness tester applies a fixed pressure to the surface of a material through an indenter, and the hardness value is calculated based on the depth or area of the indentation. It is used to test the surface compressive resistance of materials such as coatings and plastics, and is commonly applied in quality control and material comparison.
Selection
When selecting, consider the matching of the material's hardness range with the indenter type: use a Rockwell indenter for metal materials and a Shore indenter for elastomers. Ensure the measurement range covers the hardness of the test object, the indenter size is suitable for the sample surface, and the calibration cycle aligns with the frequency of use.
