2. System description
The pendulum hardness tester is an instrument
to determine the elastic hardness of coatings
according to DIN EN ISO 1522 and ASTM D 4366.
It consists of a sample holder where a pendulum
freely oscillates on the sample surface and a
counting device. The number of oscillations in a
defi ned angular range is a measure for the elastic
hardness of a coating. It is expressed in seconds
or number of oscillations.
The number of oscillations is detected by light
barriers in the lower part of the instrument and is
shown on the display as seconds or oscillations.
