NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester System uses a specific test load of 9.8 N to measure the hardness of materials. This load is applied by lowering the lateral load lever on the instrument, and the measurement results can be read after a 60-second testing time.

The test load of 9.8 N is suitable for testing rubber or rubber-like materials and rubber rollers in the paper industry. Different materials may require different test loads to achieve accurate and reliable hardness measurements.

In addition to the test load, NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester System also features an electronic dial gauge that indicates the penetration depth directly in 0.00 mm units. Integrating a vertical spindle at the back of the testing system allows for more accurate lowering or lifting movements, ensuring precise and reliable measurements.
