Material Hardness Tester

Hardness can be defined as a material's resistance to indentation. Hardness testing is an important step in many industries around the world, including metals, fiberglass, plastics, and rubbers; it is often used to certify quality of materials, test repairs, and can indicate potential coating failure.
