Dial-Reading Hardness Tester

The dial hardness tester drives a needle into the material surface via a spring, with the dial indicating the penetration depth converted into a hardness value. It is used to measure the surface hardness of soft materials such as coatings and plastics, assessing the degree of coating curing and wear resistance.
Selection
When selecting, consider the hardness range of the material to match the type of indenter. The spring force value should be appropriate for the thickness of the test object. The dial accuracy must meet the testing standards. The calibration cycle affects data reliability, and the testing environment requires attention to temperature and humidity influences.
