The Rockwell Hardness Test was designed to determine the compatibility of a material for whatever purpose it was going to serve. Used mainly for fields like engineering, manufacturing, and metallurgy, the Rockwell test has proven to be a rather valuable […]
Charpy vs. Izod Impact Testing Selecting an Impact Tester Provider The Charpy and Izod tests are two well-known methods for studying the toughness of materials. Many industries use either of the two for testing material strength. The tests measure the […]
There is no doubt that rubber is one of the more resilient materials used in manufacturing right now. However, just as with any material, rubber is not impervious to damage from constant wear and tear. Thus, it becomes necessary to […]
Getting Started with a Vickers Hardness Tester The Vickers Hardness Test is one of four mainline procedures that will determine how suitable a material is for the purpose it is going to be used for. The procedure has a wide […]
A hardness tester comes in two forms. The first one is the bench hardness tester. The other is the portable hardness tester. This guide will tell you more about the UCI hardness tester. How Does the Ultrasonic Hardness Tester Work? […]
How much energy can your material absorb before it snaps? That simple question sits at the heart of impact testing. Charpy and Izod are the two classic pendulum methods used to measure impact strength (toughness) by striking a notched specimen […]
Analogue Hardness Testers and Why They are Cost-Effective Alternatives for Manufacturing It is an axiom in manufacturing that the reliability and overall quality of a product is dependent on the quality of its components. Factors like resistance to deterioration, ductility, […]
The integrity and quality of plastic or rubber manufactured products depends on the hardness of the materials used. As such, it’s in the best interests of manufacturers in industries like aerospace and automotive to take the guesswork out of their […]
Hardness is the material’s ability to withstand permanent indentation. This empirical test defines the hardness value of materials depending on their type. Therefore, the results must be labeled with the specific method used. Testing is commonly used in inspection and […]
Product quality has always been one of the most important factors in the success of a business. This is the reason why manufacturers keep searching for the most efficient ways of maintaining quality control. Hardness testers are among the tools […]
