If you areperforming the hardness test on a sample, ensure not to use tap water to wash the glassware as this water may already contain some levels of Calcium and Magnesium. Use distilled water instead.

How do you determine the hardness of ductile materials?
Hardness of ductile materials can be determined by following methods..... 1) Brinell Hardness Test 2)Vickers Hardness Test 3)Rockwell Hardness Test 4) Scratch hardness test
What is the difference between vickers hardness test and brinell hardness test?
In Vickers hardness test the for used is much lighter than the force used in Rockwell hardness test, The Rockwell hardness test is the considered to be the most routinely used technique to measure the hardness of materials because of its simplicity and because it does not require specific skills in order to perform it.
What factors effect the rate at which a waterfall migrates upstream?
the hardness and therefore the rate of errosion of the rock its retreating back through.
What is the Brinell hardness test used for?
The Brinell hardness test is a standardized test in material science. It measures the hardness of a metal by measuring the indentation on the material caused by an indenter.
What is the initial load in Rockwell hardness test?

What is the Rockwell hardness test used for?
plan a fair test with timing......... bash each rock with a hammer and see which one breaks first
What is the difference between Hardness and Harden-ability of steel?
There are some differences between hardness and hardenability. Hardness is the surface property of material to give resistance to the penetration or plastic deformation and it is measured by one of the tests......Rockwell hardness test,Brinell hardness test and Vicker hardness test. On the other hand,hardenability is defined as the ability how the material would be hardened and it is measured by Jominy hardenability test.
What is the importance of hardness test?
What is the important of microhardness test
What test uses the Moho scale?
Hardness test for minerals
How do you test a mineral for hardness?
Well. You can do many things like use the Mohs Hardness Scale or determine the hardness by the streak.
