View full detailsMetal hardness testers are inspection instruments that measure the hardness of metallic materials by evaluating resistance to indentation or impact and the resulting permanent deformation. They are used for quality control, heat-treatment verification, and surface condition assessment.
Available in portable and bench models, with multiple scales/methods (e.g., Leeb, Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers), options for curved or hard-to-reach surfaces, plus data logging and output features. Choices from Insize & PCE Instruments.
Well suited for machine shops, steel processing, maintenance, and field inspections—select based on method, accuracy, and the material range you need.
Metal Hardness
How is hardness defined and which parameters should we take into account in a measurement? Hardness is not a fundamental property of a material, but it is the quantity that indicates how mechanically resistant a material (test piece) is to mechanical penetration by another harder body (indenter). Precisely because it is not a fundamental quantity, over the years different methods have been developed with the aim of determining it. Initially, the choice of method depends on the material of the specimen. Then, 1) the magnitude of the force and 2) the time for which the force will be applied must be determined...
