Portable Rockwell Surface Hardness Tester

The portable surface Rockwell hardness tester applies a specified pressure through a diamond indenter to form an indentation on the material surface, and measures the depth difference of the indentation to convert it into a hardness value. It is used for on-site rapid testing of the surface hardness of thin materials, small components, or coatings, and is suitable for metal processing and heat treatment process control.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the thickness range of the material being tested with the hardness measurement range. The type of indenter should be compatible with the material's characteristics. The testing environment requirements influence the selection of structural protection levels. Calibration certificates and ease of operation affect the reliability of use.
