Scratch Hardness Tester

Scratch Hardness is the ability of a material surface to resist usually by scratch and abrasion. It used to determine the hardness of a material and its ability to resist scratching. When testing the surface of the coating, by scratch hardness a necessary force is applied to cut through the film to the substrate.

Standard: IS 101 (Parts 5/ Sec. 2), ISO 1518, BS 3900 E2, ASTM D 5178, ASTM D 2197.

Description

Automatic Scratch Hardness Tester

It is used for evaluating the resistance of coatings on the substrate by scratching with specific weight and needle. A one side coated panel is clamped at the platform of the automatic scratch tester, specified weight is applied on the weight holding rod and the needle is scratched on the coated surface at a constant speed 30 to 40 mm/s automatically.
The voltmeter indicates the contact between the needle and the metallic surface with the help of light and buzzer simultaneously. It also produces the beep noise as indication when the needle and the metallic surface contact with each other. It means that the needle scratched the coating and touched the surface of the substrate.
The Automatic Scratch Hardness Tester is made up of Mild Steel with durable powder coating, sliding plate is made up of mild Steel and the needle is made up of hard stainless steel with a hemispherical ball Ø1mm made up of Tungsten Carbide. It is widely used in paint and coating industries, pipe, steel and fabrication industries etc.

Hand Operated Scratch Hardness Tester

Hand operated scratch tester is an instrument used for evaluating the resistance of coating on the substrate by scratching with weights and needles manually.A one side coated panel is clamped at the platform of the hand operated scratch tester, specified weight is applied on the weight holding rod and the needle is scratched on the coated surface with the help of movable sliding surface by hand.When the needle scratch the coating and needle tip come in contact with the metallic surface buzzer will produce beep noise for indication.
The Hand Operated Scratch Hardness Tester is made up of Mild Steel with durable powder coating, base plate is made up of mild Steel and the needle is made up of Tungsten Carbide. It is widely used in paint and coating industries, pipe, steel and fabrication industries etc.
