Portable Microhardness Tester

The portable microhardness tester applies a fixed load to the sample surface through a diamond indenter to create an indentation, and its optical system measures the diagonal length of the indentation and automatically converts it into a hardness value. It is used for on-site hardness testing of materials such as coatings and metal parts, and can be operated directly on large workpieces or installed equipment.
Selection
When selecting, consider the hardness range of the material being tested. Choose the Rockwell scale for common metals and the Vickers scale for thin coatings. Pay attention to the compatibility between the maximum load and the indenter. The working environment determines whether a shockproof function is necessary. Measurement accuracy must be within ±3%, and the weight of the instrument body affects portability.

Pencil Hardness Tester for Rapid Evaluation of Coating Surface Hardness
The pencil hardness tester is a tool used for rapidly assessing the relative hardness of coating surfaces through standardized scratch tests. It employs a series of pencil leads with known hardness levels, which are drawn across the coating under a fixed load and angle. The hardness grade, ranging from 6B to 9H, is determined based on whether a permanent scratch is produced.
