A testing device for measuring pencil hardness, which indicates the hardness of a coating film. It can be operated easily, and anyone can achieve the same results in evaluation.
This is a pencil hardness testing machine specified in JIS-K5600-5-4 for scratch hardness (pencil method). When conducting pencil hardness tests by hand, the evaluations can vary depending on the operator, leading to a lack of reliability. By using a dedicated pencil hardness testing machine, differences caused by human factors can be eliminated, allowing tests to be conducted under the same conditions every time. The machine comes with a set of 14 Mitsubishi Uni pencils specifically for pencil hardness testing by the Japan Paint Inspection Association. There are three types available with loads of 750g, 1,000g, and 500g.

basic information
This is a testing device for measuring the hardness of coatings. Beyond coatings, it is used to evaluate the hardness of resins and the hardness of coatings on PET films, making pencil hardness a method of hardness evaluation used not only in the painting industry but also across various industries. The definition of hardness is quite difficult, but by expressing hardness in terms of pencil hardness, it becomes easier to communicate and understand.
