No, NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester system is designed to test specimens with flat surfaces only. The system applies a specific test load of 9.8 N by lowering the lateral load lever and measures the penetration depth directly in 0.01 mm units. Therefore, any specimen with an uneven or non-flat surface will not yield accurate results.

However, NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester system is specifically designed to test rubber or rubber-like materials and rubber rollers in the paper industry. These materials typically have flat surfaces, which can be easily tested with this system. If you need to test non-flat surfaces, there are other hardness testing methods and devices available on the market that may be more suitable for your needs. It is important to choose the right testing method and equipment for your specific application to ensure accurate and reliable results.
