Film Pendulum Hardness Tester

The pendulum hardness tester measures hardness by the amplitude of attenuation of the pendulum swinging on the coating surface. The end of the pendulum rod contacts the coating, and the degree of swing obstruction reflects the softness or hardness of the coating. It is used for detecting the surface hardness of coatings and inks after curing, guiding formula adjustments and controlling drying processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider the coating type to match the pendulum specifications: use a metal pendulum for metal coatings and a glass pendulum for plastics. The measurement range should cover the hardness values of the samples to be tested. Environmental temperature and humidity effects should be addressed by equipping a temperature control chamber. The operation interface should be clear for easy reading, and calibration weights must be complete to ensure data accuracy.

The pendulum hardness tester tests the scratch resistance limit of varnish.
The pendulum hardness tester measures the hardness of varnish by observing the attenuation of the pendulum's swing on the coating surface, with faster attenuation indicating a softer coating. The scratch resistance of varnish depends not only on hardness but also on elasticity and toughness. Hardness testing sets the basic threshold for scratch resistance.
Use of pendulum hardness tester for paint film curing degree assessment in the laboratory.
The pendulum hardness tester evaluates the hardness of a paint film by measuring the decay time of a pendulum swinging on the surface of the film, where a longer time indicates a harder film and a higher degree of curing.
Pendulum hardness tester measures the damping hardness of powder coatings.
This article introduces the method of testing the damping hardness of powder coatings using a pendulum hardness tester. The test is based on the principle of energy attenuation, where the hardness is reflected by the time it takes for the amplitude of the pendulum to decay as it swings on the coating surface, with a longer time indicating a harder coating.
