The Rockwell hardness tester is a direct reading instrument which operates on the principle of differential depth measurement. It consists essentially of a series of levers which give the proper mechanical advantages to a small weight, a platform for support of the specimen, a direct reading hardness dial and a shank for holding the penetrators. 1, record 3, English, - Rockwell%20hardness%20tester

Martel conçut dès 1895, un essai de pénétration dynamique par la chute d’un pénétrateur sur la surface du matériau et la mesure de l'empreinte laissée après rebondissement. Le nombre de dureté était, par définition, égal au rapport de l'énergie du pénétrateur au volume de l'empreinte. La mesure de la hauteur de rebondissement a également été proposée pour mesurer la dureté du matériau. Elle a été reprise par Shore sous la forme d’une petite masse d’acier terminée par un diamant arrondi qui tombe dans un tube lisse, d’une hauteur fixe, et rebondit d’autant plus haut que la pénétration est plus faible, donc que le métal est plus dur. 2, record 7, French, - nombre%20de%20duret%C3%A9%20Shore

When a properly designed penetrator is forced into the material under a given load, an indentation is produced and the hardness is taken to be inversely proportional to the amount of indentation. 1, record 11, English, - penetrator

The same test as used to determine the Rockwell hardness number except that smaller minor and major loads are used. In Rockwell testing, the minor load is 10 kgf, and the major load is 60, 100, or 150 kgf. In superficial Rockwell testing, the minor load is 3 kgf, and major loads are 15, 30, or 45 kgf.
