Portable Hardness Testing is a widely used method for
determining hardness of materials using test methods such as
Vickers, Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, Shore and IRHD. Portable
hardness testers come in a variety of types with the ability to
test most metals, alloys and plastics ranging from soft polymers
and rubbers to engineering alloys designed for use in the most
arduous conditions or most severe operating environments.
