Pointer Hardness Tester

The pointer-type hardness tester measures the hardness of materials by pressing a spring-loaded indenter into the surface, with the dial pointer displaying the indentation depth converted into a hardness value. It is used to test the softness or hardness of materials such as plastics and rubber, and to assess material consistency during quality inspection processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the hardness range of the material with the instrument's measurement range, ensuring that the sample thickness is more than 10 times the indentation depth. Choose the corresponding indenter model according to the testing standards, and verify the validity of the instrument's calibration certificate. Regularly use standard hardness blocks to verify measurement repeatability.
