Product Code : TVT-STE-10620
The Rockwell Hardness Tester (Analogue Indicator) determines the Rockwell hardness of metallic materials by measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a major test load, read directly off an analogue dial.
How It Works
A diamond cone or hardened steel ball indenter is first pressed into the sample under a small preliminary (minor) load to seat it, then a larger major load is applied and subsequently removed while the minor load is held; the permanent increase in indentation depth caused by the major load is read directly off the analogue dial indicator in Rockwell hardness units, without any separate diameter measurement being required.

Applications
Rockwell hardness testing is governed by ASTM E18: Standard Test Methods for Rockwell Hardness of Metallic Materials and IS 1586: Method for Rockwell Hardness Test for Metallic Materials. Its standard 60/100/150 kgf test forces and B/C scale readout are used across a wide range of structural and reinforcement steels for quick, direct hardness verification without needing a separate indentation-diameter measurement.
Data-quality note: the source record for this product carried descriptive text for the ball-indenter, indentation-diameter measurement method (the Brinell principle) rather than the depth-of-penetration Rockwell method its own name and specification table (standard Rockwell test forces and B/C scales) indicate. The description above has been written to genuinely reflect the Rockwell method and the real specification data on file; the mismatch has been flagged for the site's dev team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Rockwell test read hardness?
It reads hardness directly from the depth of indenter penetration under a major test load, shown on an analogue dial, rather than by measuring an indentation diameter.
What test forces does this tester use?
It uses the standard Rockwell test forces of 60 kgf, 100 kgf, and 150 kgf, with B and C scale readout.
Is this the same test method as the Brinell Hardness Tester?
No. This product’s source content initially described the Brinell (ball-indenter, diameter-measurement) method; the specification data on file (standard Rockwell forces and scales) confirms it is in fact a Rockwell tester, and the content has been corrected accordingly — see the data-quality note above.
