Choosing the Right Hardness Tester

A hardness tester is a measuring instrument used to assess the stiffness or strength of a material.

For more information, please visit AJR.

Hardness testers are used to determine the resistance of a material to deformation by means of a harder tool, most often a diamond cone or steel ball, which penetrates the surface of the material being tested. The hardness tester then measures the penetration depth of the tool and the impression left by the tool on the surface of the sample.

Different test methods exist. This guide will present different hardness testers with their advantages and disadvantages.

About The Author

Managing Director at Digital Micrometers Ltd. My metrology career started in when I began my studies in Mechanical Engineering at Loughborough University. I was sponsored at University by the Neil Tool Group, upon gaining a degree i took up a position in the Group Research Centre at Neil Tools (-81) where I was an integral part of the team that developed the first-ever hand-held digital micrometer at Moore and Wright. Following on from Neil Tools, as a Director of Moore and Wright Microsystems and CADAR I gained valuable experience in Metrology over the following 25 years enabling me to establish my own company, Digital Micrometers Ltd. Initially, we worked on developing our own range of metrology equipment. As we&#;ve grown into the company we are today, we&#;ve continued to develop the DML range and now also partner with global market leaders.
