Abstract

1,172,776. Measuring hardness of material electrically. G.K.N. GROUP SERVICES Ltd. July 31, 1968 [Aug.4, 1967], No.35906/67. Addition to 1,027,226. Heading G1N. Apparatus for determining the hardness of a substance by measuring the maximum stress produced when an indenter tip supplied with a predetermined kinetic energy is allowed to strike the substance, is characterized is that the energy source comprises springs which also act as guide means for the indenter. As shown Fig. 1, the indenter 19 backed by a Piezo-crystal 20 and a mass 21, is supported by leaf springs 14a, 14b which also act as leads for the signal from the crystal. By means of a lever (27, Fig. 2 not shown), the indenter assembly is raised until it rests on a plate 30, thereby producing the required kinetic energy in the stressed leaf springs. Depression of a button 31 releases the assembly, the tip of indenter 19 strikes the test surface, and the maximum value of the stress signal from the Piezo-crystal 20 is noted as being indicative of the hardness of test material.
