hardness test

A test designed to determine the relative hardness of materials by correlating the size or depth of an indent produced by a particular instrument with a known amount of compressive force.

See: hardness number

hard·ness test

(hahrd'nĕs test)

Measurement of durability of a material, usually involving making and measuring an indentation in the material using a pressure device.
