Drying up your damp crawlspace with crawlspace encapsulation is the first step towards a clean and healthy environment ready for living, storage, and play. Waters Basement Services can turn your musty, humid, wet crawspace into a bright order-free space.
The Rockwell hardness test is the most used and versatile of the hardness tests. For soft materials such as copper alloys, soft steel, and aluminum alloys a 1/16 diameter steel ball is used with a 100-kilogram load and the hardness is read on the B scale.
Since Mohs' Hardness Scale uses existing common minerals as reference measures, it is convenient to use but does not give a continuous range of measurements. For instance, diamond (10) is 140 times harder than corundum (9), whereas flourspar (4) is only marginally (~10%) harder than calcite (3).
