Reliable Hardness Testing in Chennai – Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory

Introduction

Types of Hardness Testing at Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory

At Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory, we provide specialized hardness testing services to evaluate different types of materials, from metals to plastics and rubber.

1. Brinell Hardness Test in Chennai

The Brinell Hardness Test (BHN) is widely used for testing materials with rough or uneven surfaces, such as castings and forgings. A steel or tungsten carbide ball is pressed into the material under a specific load, and the size of the indentation is measured. This test is suitable for softer metals and large components.

2. Rockwell Hardness Test in Chennai

The Rockwell Hardness Test (HR) is a fast and efficient method for determining the hardness of metals like steel, aluminum, and brass. It measures the depth of penetration of an indenter under a fixed load. With multiple Rockwell scales (HRC, HRB, etc.), it is one of the most commonly used hardness tests.

3. Vickers Hardness Test in Chennai

The Vickers Hardness Test (VHN) is ideal for small components, thin materials, and coatings. It uses a diamond-shaped indenter to apply force and measure the size of the indentation. This test is highly precise and is often used for microhardness testing.

4. Shore A and Shore D Hardness Testing in Chennai

For rubber and plastic materials, Shore Hardness Testing is the preferred method:

Shore A Hardness Test is used for soft rubbers and elastomers, such as silicone and polyurethane.
Shore D Hardness Test is used for harder plastics and thermoplastics, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
