BGD 510 Buchholz Indentation Tester is a reliable test method for evaluation of indentation resistance of plastic deformable coatings. A beveled disc with a sharp edge is applied onto the test surface under a constant 500g. Test load provided by a steel block holder. The trace left after 30s. Load is measured with a 20X magnification illuminated microscope. The length of the indentation is inversely proportional to the hardness.
