Rockwell Superficial Hardness:
For Rockwell Superficial Hardness measurements the carriage presses the indenter downward against the
specimen to apply a preliminary (minor) load of 3 kg for 3 seconds using the force sensor for feedback to
control the load. Then the carriage increases the load for 3 seconds to 15kg, 30 kg or 45 kg, depending on
which scale is used (see Table 2). The load is then decreased to 3 kg. Load and displacement are recorded vs
time.
The difference in displacements measured at the end of the first 3 kg load period and at the end of the last 3
kg load period is the total displacement. The Rockwell Superficial Hardness is :
HRx=100 - e
where x is the scale (see Table 2), and e is the number of .001mm units in the total displacement.

Report:
Use the Viewer program to plot test results. Open the data file with the box checked for Open all data in
a single step. Check the Fz and C1 boxes under Parameters on the Viewer screen. Note the difference
on the C1 scale between the Initial Displacement and the Final Displacement. Divide that difference by
.002 for Rockwell Hardness or .001 for Rockwell Superficial Hardness to get e.
The Rockwell Hardness is : Hrx = E - e where x is the scale, E is either 100 or 130 depending on scale
(see Table 1.). The Rockwell Superficial Hardness is : Hrx = 100 - e.
