1. Rockwell hardness tester

This refers to analog type and manually operated. This is the earliest type which is used in hardness testing for steel. It can test carbide alloy, chilled steel and non quenched steel. Cast iron with lower hardness and plates with thickness less than 2mm are not suitable for this kind hardness tester.

It has 3 kinds of test force, and 3 types of scales: HRA, HRB, HRC. HRC is often used in quenched steel and die steel.
