1 OVERVIEW

The Elcometer 3095 Buchholz Hardness Tester is a simple-to-use
gauge for measuring the hardness of coatings on substrates using
an indentation method.
The indenting tool incorporates a disc which has a sharp bevelled
edge. The tool is positioned on the test specimen with the edge of
the disc in contact with the coating. The mass of the tool provides a
constant load between the disc and the coating.
After a set period of time the tool is removed and the length of the
indentation left on the coating is observed and measured using the
illuminated microscope supplied with the tester.
The length of the indentation is inversely proportional to the
hardness of the coating.
