Determining the hardness of materials is the purpose of a Brinell scale. The Brinell scale is one of several items used in the definition of hardness in materials science.

A seismograph is used to measure ground movement or vibrations on the Richter scale.

In brinell scale ,the hardness value is 180
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.
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.
The formula to convert Vickers to Brinell hardness is: Brinell Hardness = (2.025 x Vickers Hardness).
Johan August Brinell died in 1925.
Johan August Brinell was born in 1849.
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.
The Brinell hardness number of brass typically ranges from 80 to 100 HB. This hardness can vary depending on the exact composition of the brass alloy and any heat treatment it has undergone.
#1 is 1500 #2 is 3000
I don't found the Mohs hardness of plutonium but: - the Brinell hardness is 242 at r.m. - the Vickers hardness is 255 at r.m. After a hardness conversion chart an equivalent Mohs hardness may be 3,7.
Brinell hardness number is calculated by dividing the applied load in kilograms by the surface area of the resulting indentation in square millimeters. The formula is expressed as: ( \text{Brinell Hardness Number (BHN)} = \frac{\text{Applied Load (kg)}}{\pi \times \text{Indentation Diameter (mm)} \times (\text{Diameter of Ball (mm) - Indentation Diameter (mm)})} ).
