Product Description
The pencil hardness test,
also referred to as the Wolff-Wilborn test, uses the varying hardness values of
graphite pencils to evaluate a coating’s hardness.
The Elcometer 501 has
been designed to ensure that the cylindrical pencil lead is maintained at a
constant angle of 45° and exerts a force of 7.5N (1.68lbF).
The pencil
lead, prepared beforehand using the special sharpener and abrasive paper, is
inserted into the Elcometer 501 and pushed over the smooth, flat coated
surface.
The lowest hardness value of the pencil which marks the coating determines the coating’s hardness rating.
