Point Indentation Hardness Tester

The cone-type hardness tester measures the hardness value by converting the indentation depth when a conical indenter penetrates the material surface under constant pressure. It is used to detect the penetration resistance of soft materials such as coatings and plastics, allowing for quick on-site assessment of coating curing levels or material softness and hardness.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material's hardness range to the instrument's measurement range, ensure the tip specifications correspond to the testing standards, opt for handheld types for on-site measurements, and bench-mounted types for repeated laboratory testing. Pay attention to the wear resistance of the indenter material and the calibration cycle of the instrument, and compensate for the influence of ambient temperature.
