What Hardness can help you understand
Measure hardness on an agreed scale with the load, dwell time, point count and surface condition defined for the material.
Choose the measurement scope
- Local hardness measurements
- Replicate hardness comparison
- Traverse, mapping or high-temperature scope
Vickers, Knoop, Rockwell, Brinell and Shore are not interchangeable or automatically the same price. Mapping, high-temperature testing and specialist preparation require their own scope.
Your agreed result package
Linked to the accepted samples, method and reporting conditions. No duplicate output charge.
Vickers, Knoop, Rockwell, Brinell and Shore are not interchangeable or automatically the same price. Mapping, high-temperature testing and specialist preparation require their own scope.
Prepare your samples
Specify material, thickness, hardness scale, load, dwell time, number and positions of points, surface finish and accessibility.
Do not dispatch restricted or unstable material before acceptance. The quotation and shipping instructions confirm the receiving location and any cross-border constraints. Shipping time is additional to laboratory turnaround.
Planning questions
What should I prepare?
Specify material, thickness, hardness scale, load, dwell time, number and positions of points, surface finish and accessibility.
What is outside the standard scope?
Vickers, Knoop, Rockwell, Brinell and Shore are not interchangeable or automatically the same price. Mapping, high-temperature testing and specialist preparation require their own scope.
When does turnaround begin?
8–12 working days is the indicative laboratory period after technical acceptance and receipt of all required samples and information. Preparation, special conditions and shipping can extend the overall schedule.
