Sheet Metal Hardness Tester

The plate hardness tester applies pressure to the plate through an indenter and determines the hardness based on the depth or diameter of the indentation. It is used to test the compressive resistance of plates and evaluate material durability in industries such as wood, metal, and plastics.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the test standards with the material type, ensuring the indenter specifications correspond to the plate thickness, the measurement range covers the expected hardness range, the operation interface is simple, calibration services are reliable, and the environment is suitable for production site conditions.

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.
Buchholz indentation tester measures the indentation hardness of varnish.

It involves using a series of pencils with known hardness levels to scratch the coated surface under fixed conditions. The hardness grade of the coating is determined by observing whether permanent scratches are produced.
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.
