ATS gladly meets our clients’ hardness testing needs.
What is Hardness Testing?
Hardness testing determines a material’s resistance to surface deformation when struck by a sharp object. The relationship between a material’s hardness and its suitability for its intended applications makes this mechanical test a critical step in a product’s development and design.
With our well-equipped mechanical testing lab, our technicians can determine a material’s hardness on many different scales, including Brinell, Rockwell, Superficial Rockwell, Leeb, Webster, and Barcol hardness.
ATS can also perform microhardness testing using Knoop and Vickers scales. Some of the items we test range from ballistic shield panels to small springs.
