Non-metallic Material Hardness Tester

The non-metallic material hardness tester applies standard pressure to the sample through an indenter and converts the hardness value based on the depth or diameter of the indentation. It is used to test the compressive resistance of materials such as plastics, rubber, and coatings, and to determine whether the softness or hardness of the material meets the usage requirements in quality inspection.
Selection
When selecting, it is necessary to match the material type and hardness range, confirm the testing standard (Shore/Barcol/Rockwell, etc.), consider the sample thickness and flatness, verify the indenter specifications and accuracy grade, check the instrument calibration records, and evaluate the ease of operation and data output methods.
