Pencil hardness testers
These pencil hardness testers have been designed to test the scratch hardness of coatings.
Pencils of 6B to 8H hardness-grade are used.
The pencil is moved scratching over the surface under a 45° angle with a constant pressure. An optical assessment is carried out to see which pencil hardness damages the surface.
