  2. Mohs scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale

    Some solid substances that are not minerals have been assigned a hardness on the Mohs scale. Hardness may be difficult to determine, or may be misleading or meaningless, if a material is a mixture of two or more substances; for example, some sources have assigned a Mohs hardness of 6 or 7 to granite but it is a rock made of several minerals ...

  6. Scratch hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_hardness

    The first scientific attempt to quantify materials by scratch tests was by mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in 1812 (see Mohs scale). [3] [4] The Mohs scale is based on relative scratch hardness of different materials; with talc assigned a value of 1 and diamond assigned a value of 10. [5] Mohs's scale had two limitations: it was not linear, and ...

  7. Pencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil

    Graded pencils can be used for a rapid test that provides relative ratings for a series of coated panels but cannot be used to compare the pencil hardness of different coatings. This test defines a "pencil hardness" of a coating as the grade of the hardest pencil that does not permanently mark the coating when pressed firmly against it at a 45 ...

  8. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

    There are several scales of durometer, used for materials with different properties. The two most common scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. The A scale is for softer ones, while the D scale is for harder ones. The image of Bareiss digital durometer is shown in the photo.

  9. Barcol hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcol_hardness_test

    Barcol hardness is measured on a scale from 0 to 100 with the typical range being between 50B and 90B. A measurement of 60B is roughly equivalent to a Shore hardness of 80D or a Rockwell hardness M100. [4] [6] As defined in ASTM D 2583 the scale divisions from 0-100 should each indicate a depth of 0.0076 mm or the equivalent 0.0003 inches. [7]
