The TQC Hardness Test SP0010 is a pocket instrument for testing the hardness and wear/scratch resistance of materials such as coatings, lacquers, plastics or related products. A tungsten carbide tip is drawn over the surface with a defined constant pressure. The pressure on the tip can be changed using the slide or by changing the spring. A visual mark on the surface after use of the TQC Hardness Test SP0010 indicates a fail of the surface hardness or wear/scratch resistance. Can be used on flat and curved surfaces.

The Instruments is supplied with 3 springs:
1. 0-3N, graduation 10 g
2. 0-10N, graduation 50 g
3. 0-30N, graduation 150 g

The laser-engraved scale is clearly visible on the grey background. The diameter of the tip is Ø1 mm. Tips of Ø 0.75 mm (Bosch) and Ø 0.5 mm (van Laar) are available as an option.
