Destructive Measurements

Are you interested in the abrasion resistance of your paints and coatings?

The Gardner-scrub abrasion tester offers a versatile design for abrasion and washability testing applications.

The Gardner-scrub abrasion tester offers a versatile design for abrasion and washability testing applications.

Coating hardness is the resistance of a coating to a mechanical force such as pressure, rubbing, or scratching.

Convince yourself that the Pendulum Hardness tester is very precise measurement of hardness using either a König or Persoz pendulum.

Convince yourself that the Pendulum Hardness tester is very precise measurement of hardness using either a König or Persoz pendulum.

Impact resistance is measured by a falling weight from a controlled distance.

BYK-Gardner offers a wide variety of models and accessories to comply with ASTM and ISO methods related to a resistance tester.

Discover how simple and easy an impact test can be done.

Destructive Measurements
