Vickers Hardness Testers
The Vickers Hardness Test was developed in 1924 by Smith and Sandland at Vickers Ltd as an
alternative to the Brinell method to measure the hardness of materials. The Vickers test is
often easier to use than other hardness tests since the required calculations are independent of
the size of the indenter. The indenter can be used for all materials irrespective of hardness.
The basic principle, as with all common measures of hardness, is to observe the questioned
material's ability to resist plastic deformation from a standard source. The Vickers test can be
used for all metals and has one of the widest scales among hardness tests.
