Portable pen-type hardness Tester

The portable pen-type hardness tester measures hardness by pressing a spring-loaded indenter vertically into the material's surface and converting the indentation depth into a hardness value. It is used for on-site rapid testing of surface hardness for coatings, plastics, and other materials. During operation, the pen body must be kept perpendicular to the test surface.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material's hardness range to the instrument's measurement range and verify the calibration marks from the metrology institution. The needle tip material should be suitable for the characteristics of the measured object, and the comfort of the grip affects operational stability. Compare with known hardness values of similar materials to verify instrument consistency.
