Introduction
The requirement to convert from one hardness test scale to another is quite common and as such is covered by various
International Standards (ASTM E140, ISO 18265). These standards point out that, due to the differences in the various types of
hardness test methods, it is not possible to show a constant conversion relationship across all materials. As such, the
standards provide approximate conversions only with defined hardness ranges and test loads for specific materials. Thus
there
are a number of conversion tables according to material type and it is essential to use the correct one. The following
conversion
charts have been constructed according to the hardness test scale conversion algorithms provided within ASTM E140.
Please
treat all converted values as approximations only.
The table below lists the scales present in the following tables and any restrictions on the load ranges valid for the
conversions.
