KORI SEIKI MFG Hardness Meters
Hardness testers are instruments used to measure the hardness of test materials. Measuring instruments handle the measurement of various test materials from soft and elastic ones such as sponge and rubber to hard ones such as metal, plastic, and soil. Measurement can be done by repulsion force of the tip by pressing the measuring part of the hardness tester against the material measured. Ordinarily, small portable types that can be carried are used. Separation into polymeric materials is possible by using a hardness tester. There are 2 types of measurement value displays, needle type and digital type, with the needle type ordinarily being used. The type of hardness tester used must be selected according to the application it is used for. Also, the hardness tester can be secured using a measurement stand to improve on variation in manual measurement.
