What is a hardness tester?
A hardness tester is a device for quantitatively measuring the hardness of a substance. There are various types of hardness definitions such as Rockwell type, Vickers type, Brinell type, etc., according to the characteristics of the substance to be measured. It is necessary to measure with a testing machine that has a measuring method. Hardness testers are generally stationary, but there are also portable types that can be tested anywhere. Please note that depending on the test method, requirements such as the size and surface roughness of the test object (test piece), cutting and resin embedding may be required in advance.
Application of hardness tester
There are several types of hardness testers, each employing different methods:
1. Rockwell Hardness Tester: Measures hardness by applying a specific load to a sample and pressing an indenter (usually a steel ball or cone) into the material. The depth of the indentation is used to determine hardness.
2. Brinell Hardness Tester: Involves pressing a large-diameter steel ball into the sample under a set load. The hardness is calculated based on the diameter of the indentation left by the ball.
3. Vickers Hardness Tester: Utilizes a sharp diamond pyramid indenter to create an indentation on the sample. The hardness is determined by measuring the diagonal lengths of the indentation.
4. Shore Hardness Tester: Primarily used for measuring the hardness of rubber and plastics. It measures the depth of penetration of a spring-loaded indenter into the material.
These testers are widely used for assessing material properties and ensuring product quality and suitability in various applications.
