How do you measure using Barcol Hardness Tester

Vertex Barcol Hardness Tester

The Vertex Barcol Hardness Tester is used for testing the hardness of rigid plastics and soft metals such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and brass. Barcol hardness testing is a crucial step for quality assurance and quality control of materials such as rigid plastics, aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and brass. Each material needs to meet a specific standard of strength. Testing the Barcol hardness of a material determines its ability to resist deformation. For some plastics and fiber-reinforced polymer composites, Barcol Hardness Testers can also be used to measure the degree of curing and cross-linking.

What is a Barcol Hardness Tester?

The Barcol Hardness Tester is a small portable Hardness Tester having a weight around 1 Kg. It is suitable for testing hardness of aluminium, aluminium alloys, copper, brass, plastics, fiber glass and other soft materials having hardness from 25 to 150 BHN (10 mm ball / 500 kg load). No experience required; can be used in any position and in any space that will allow for the operator's hand. The hardness reading is instantly indicated on the dial, which is divided into one hundred graduations. No waiting, pre-loading or separate measurements.

Benefits of using a Vertex Barcol Hardness

Easy to Use

Single hand operation which gives easy flexibility to use the instrument without much efforts. As it is portable it can be used for testing at any place and at any direction.

High Sensitivity

Barcol Hardness Tester has 0 to 100 scale. Least count 1 division (0.5 on request). Sensitivity is higher than that of Webster Hardness Testers.

Wide Testing Range

It can test from pure aluminium to super hard aluminium alloy, reinforced platics, hard plastics, laminates, FRP, Resins, fiber glass materials, Barcol hardness Tester is used for fiberglass, storage tanks, artificial marble.

Indenter

The material hardness of indenter and dimensional tolerance are as per ASTM D2583.

Hardness Blocks

It can ensure the accuracy, repeatability, and uniformity of the measurement results.
