The Brinell hardness tester was invented to measure the hardness of materials using an indentation. Applied force is measured against the force, diameter of indentation and indenter.

What is the main difference between rockwell and brinell hardness?

Both are two different scales of hardness measurement.


What is the difference between brinell and rockwell hardness tester?

Brinell hardness tester uses a ball to apply a specified load on the material surface, measured by the resulting indentation size. Rockwell hardness tester uses a diamond cone or steel ball to penetrate the material, and hardness is calculated based on the depth of penetration. Brinell is better for softer materials and larger test areas, while Rockwell is more versatile and provides different scales for various materials.

What can you conclude from the hardness brinell values?

Hardness Brinell values provide information on the hardness of a material based on the indentation it makes when a predetermined force is applied. Higher Brinell values indicate a harder material, while lower values indicate a softer material. It is a useful metric for comparing the relative hardness of different materials.

How hard is 28 on the hardness scale?

In the common Mohs hardness scale used in geology, 10 is the maximum number, the hardness of diamond. There are several other hardness scales such as Vickers, and Brinell; but these have specialist engineering (not geologic) applications. In brief, Brinell 28 would be rather soft - about that of copper. In Vickers, this number would represent something even softer - around that of gold.
