Material Pencil Hardness Tester

The material pencil hardness tester determines the hardness grade of a coating by scratching the material surface with a standard pencil lead at a fixed angle and pressure, based on whether scratches are produced. It is used to evaluate the scratch resistance of surfaces such as paints and plastics, and to control the durability of coatings in production and quality inspection processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider the pencil hardness range required by the testing standards and match the instrument's measuring range. Confirm that the loading weights comply with the specifications, and check the stability of the pencil clamping structure. Choose the platform fixture based on the shape of the sample, and inspect the clarity of the scratch observation device. Verify the validity period of the calibration certificate.
