The mechanized scratch Tester is used for coating hardness evaluation based on the scratch resistance method.
Clamp the test plate tightly and move it slowly while scraping the surface with a stylus or alternative tool. Depending on the test procedure, specified or variable loads can be applied to obtain varying degrees of failure, from traces to destruction. The voltmeter indicates the contact between the tool and the metal sample substrate. Maximum panel size: 100x150x1.6mm (0.3mm coating).
The TQC Sheen SH0530 Scratch Resistance Tester for Coated Surfaces meets the weight settings required by the ISO 1518-1 standard. Weight groups specified in the previous international standard ISO 1518 can be selected.
