NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester is designed to test rubber rollers and rubber-like materials with flat surfaces and a thickness of up to 13 mm. This means that specimens with a thickness greater than 13 mm cannot be tested with this system.

Keep in mind that specimen’s thickness can affect the test results accuracy. Thicker specimens may not deform as easily under the applied load, which can lead to inaccurate measurements of the material’s hardness.

If you need to test specimens thicker than 13 mm, you may need to consider other testing methods or equipment designed for thicker materials. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with the manufacturer or an experienced testing professional from NextGen Material Testing to ensure that you are using the appropriate testing method and equipment for your specific application.
