I barely use it I don’t need any control! I maintain it very well, what could happen? As strong as they may seem, hardness testers are neither unbreakable nor eternal! Both the prolonged use and the state of inactivity can generate problems that if underestimated could compromise the reliability of the instrument in its use. That is why international standards recomme...

The Shore test is one of the static mechanical tests that can be used to measure the hardness of plastic and rubber materials. Tires, shoe insoles and gaskets are just a few examples, although it can actually be used in all polymer, elastomer, rubber and gel-like materials. In specific, the measurement is made using a Shore hardness tester. However, this instrument com...
The Vickers hardness test is one of the static mechanical tests that can be used to measure the hardness of materials. In specific, the force used for the indentation of the material is determined, followed by the optical measurement of the size of the indentation. This means that it is the optical acquisition of the indentation size generated by the indenter, together...
Let’s get straight to the point: the thermal expansion is a phenomenon that causes an increasing in the volume of the metal, strictly related to the rise of the temperature. But I guess you already knew that. Clearly, the coefficient of thermal expansion changes, based changes from a metal to another. For example, the aluminum (72 X 10−6 °C−1 ) or iron and steel (both ...
