Hardness conversion tables

Hardness conversion tables are tools used to compare different measurement systems used to determine a material's hardness, which indicates resistance to surface deformation. Since various testing methods (like Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers) produce results in different scales, these tables translate readings from one system into equivalent values in another. This helps engineers and technicians communicate consistently across industries and ensure material specifications are understood regardless of the testing method used. Essentially, hardness conversion tables standardize measurements for better material comparison and quality control.
