Best Answer

It is most likely to refer to Hardness Vickers, a method amongst 4 main methods for determining the surface hardness of a material.

The four main methods are Vickers, Brinell, Shore and Rockwell that are differentiated by a number of factors including the size, and shape of the penetrator used, the load applied to the penetrator and the reading method.

The different methods also often have different sub-scales.
