Barcol Hardness Testing

The Barcol Impressor Hardness Tester is a portable instrument used to measure the hardness of materials. It is specifically designed to measure the hardness of soft metals, plastics, and composite materials. The tester works by applying a specific amount of force to the material’s surface using a sharp indenting point. The depth of the indentation is then measured and converted into a hardness value using a calibrated scale. The Barcol Impressor Hardness Tester is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to ensure the quality and durability of materials. It is a reliable and easy-to-use tool for assessing the hardness of various materials in a non-destructive manner.

934-1 Barcol Impressor is also used to test fiber reinforced plastics and hard plastics with ASTM D2583.

934-1 Barcol Impressor complies with ASTM B648-00 Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Aluminum Alloys by Means of a Barcol Impressor.
