4.3 Performing Measurements
For measuring the hardness of a coating the sample is placed on the lifting table.
Following rules apply:
• Maximum distance from the front to the back should not exceed 100 mm. So
there remains a clearance of 3 mm, which is necessary to avoid locking/tilting
the sample.
• The distance from the center of the sample table to the left of the housing is
150 mm. From the center of the sample table to the right to the housing it is
90 mm. In total it is 240mm.
• Optimal size of the sample is 100mm x 100 mm. In this case the sample can be
rotated, if necessary.
• The smallest dimension is limited by the three upper stops, the smallest possi-
ble dimension is 65 mm x 75 mm.
• The maximum height of the sample is approximately 8.5 mm.
Following picture shows a sample of ~ 150 mm x 80 mm.
