At RMR, we offer a comprehensive range of hardness testing services, ensuring precise and reliable assessments through industry-standard methodologies.

What is Hardness Testing?

This process involves applying a consistent force with a rounded or pointed object under controlled conditions to create a small dent on the surface of the metal. The size of the dent is measured to determine the material’s hardness.

Methods of Hardness testing:

  • HRB (Rockwell B Scale)
  • HRC (Rockwell C Scale)
  • Brinell Hardness Test
  • Vickers Hardness Test

Specifications & Standards for hardness :

Rockwell

  • ASTM E18
  • ISO 6508-1

Brinell

  • 3000kg load (10mm diameter ball)
  • BS EN ISO 6506-1
  • ASTM E10

Vickers

  • ASTM E92
  • ASTM E384
  • ISO 6507-1

Micro Vickers

  • ASTM E92
