The maximum load weight of NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester is 1kg. The instrument can apply a force of up to 1 kilogram to the specimen being tested. The load weight is an important factor in the testing process because it determines the depth of the indentation made on the surface of the specimen, which is then used to calculate the hardness value. The machine can apply this force precisely and can detect very small differences in indentation depths, making it a highly reliable and accurate instrument for measuring the hardness of various materials.

The 1kg load weight makes the Pusey & Jones system suitable for testing a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. It is important to note that the load weight is not adjustable on the portable version of the Pusey & Jones tester. However, the automatic test stand version of the tester does offer the option to change the load weight, which can be useful for certain applications.
