The term microhardness test usually refers to static indentations made with loads not exceeding 1 kg.  The procedure for testing is very similar to that of the standard Vickers hardness test, except that it is done on a microscopic scale with higher precision instruments.  The impression length, measured microscopically, and the test load are used to calculate a hardness value. The hardness values obtained are useful as an indicator of material properties and expected service behavior.

Hardness test services include:

• Hardness Vickers Test
• Hardness Brinell Test
• Hardness Rockwell Test
