General information about different methods for testing hardness: Shore hardness test: Shore hardness is a characteristic value of work material for elastics or plastic based on the DIN 53505 and DIN 7868 standards. Testers of Shore hardness for rubber and similar work materials are composed of a spring loaded point which rebounds when it penetrates during testing, serving as a measurement of the corresponding Shore hardness, which is indicated in a scale from 0 Shore (2.5 millimeters of penetration) up to 100 Shore (0 millimeters of penetration). Brinell hardness test: The hardness measurement developed by Brinell is used for soft and medium hard metals, non-alloyed construction grade steel, aluminium, wood and work materials with irregular structures such as cast iron. An iron ball or one made of a ahrd metal is struck with a defined force for measurement against the surface of the material. Vickers hardness test: The name comes from the British plane manufacturer Vickers. It measures hard work materials but also the hardness of materials and thin walls or marginal areas. The difference with the Rockwell hardness measurement is the pressure of pyramid shaped penetrator at an angle of 136º at a predetermined force for measuring the material. Rockwell hardness test: The Rockwell HRC is for work materials defined by the standard DIN EN ISO 6508 for the depth of penetration of a conical penetrator. With a predetermined measurement force for the material, the conical penetrator is loaded and its point impacted at 120º against the surface of the material. The depth of the impact serves as a comparison. Next, the penetrator is pressed aainst the material with a constant pressure for six seconds. The load is then released. The differences in depths is known as the Rockwell hardness of the material. |

measure the hardness in Rockwell B,
Rockwell C, Vickers HV, Brinell HB, Shore, HS, Leeb HL or
in hardness units (DIN ISO).
These devices are especially practical in areas of
production, quality control and technical service due to
their portablility. One advantage of digital hardness
testers is the internal rechargeable battery found in
model
PCE-1000. This device with integrated refraction impact
offers the advantage of taking measurements without the
use of cables that can interfere during a measurement.
With it you can take the same measurements with the
minimum amount of force but with the same level of
accuracy. The measurement principles of hardness testers
is always the same, only the distinction between static
and dynamic processes of the hardness measurement (explanation
of both processes for taking a measurement of hardness).
With hardness testers for metallic materials you can
quickly and accurately test the surface hardness of
steel, cast iron, steel for tools, stainless steel,
aluminium, brass, copper and bronze.
There are other devices that are used for
determining the Shore hardness of rubber, plastic or
textiles and are available as either digital or analogue
devices. If you don't find the humidity indicators
