hardness testers

Hardness testers are devices used to measure how resistant a material, like metal or plastic, is to deformation or scratching. They work by applying a specific force with an indenter (a small tip) onto the material's surface and measuring the size or depth of the indentation. The results help determine the material’s strength, durability, and suitability for different applications. There are various types of hardness testers, such as Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers, each suited for different materials and precision levels. These tests are essential for quality control and material selection in manufacturing.
