Hardness Testing Calculators

Free interactive tools for Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers and Knoop: hardness from an impression, indentation depth, minimum thickness, permissible error and repeatability, and curved-surface corrections.

This page gathers all the ATI hardness calculators in one place. Pick a method below, enter your values, and get instant results based on the standard formulas and the ISO and ASTM verification tables. To convert a value between scales, use the interactive hardness converter; to learn the methods, see the Hardness Testing Academy.
