This system is especially helpful where large 8 and 16 pound weights are used. By using a mechanical stop, the test is made more repeatable by eliminating any variation in the drop point by individuals releasing the weight by eye. view less |  |

In accordance with ISO standard, the test panel is fixed on the die using a clamping device, so that the panel surface outside the test area is not affected by the rapid deformation caused by the falling weight. This instrument features an anodized guide tube with a scale in inches and mm, tolerance for ISO falling weights +/- 1g, and a maximum falling weight of 2 kg. It also has exchangeable falling weights and dies and can be easily converted for testing in accordance with ASTM. view less |  |

This test is of particular value for furniture or vehicle lacquers, but is also a useful aid in the development of synthetic resins or other film forming materials. Generally, scratch hardness is measured by moving a sharp object under a known pressure over the test surface. The result may either be the value of the pressure required to scratch through the test material if a scratching tool of constant hardness is used, or the hardness of the scratching tool is varied while constant pressure is applied. view less |  |
