The Rockwell hardness tester is a direct reading instrument which operates on the principle of differential depth measurement. It consists essentially of a series of levers which give the proper mechanical advantages to a small weight, a platform for support of the specimen, a direct reading hardness dial and a shank for holding the penetrators. 1, record 1, English, - Rockwell%20hardness%20tester

Méthode de Rockwell. [...] C'est une machine à levier [...] mais dans cette machine, on mesure l'enfoncement du pénétrateur à l'aide d'un comparateur à miroir dont le spot lumineux se déplace sur une échelle graduée transparente E. Un graphique joint à l'appareil donne directement [la dureté et la résistance à la rupture] en fonction de la profondeur de pénétration. 2, record 1, French, - machine%20Rockwell

The same test as used to determine the Rockwell hardness number except that smaller minor and major loads are used. In Rockwell testing, the minor load is 10 kgf, and the major load is 60, 100, or 150 kgf. In superficial Rockwell testing, the minor load is 3 kgf, and major loads are 15, 30, or 45 kgf. In both tests, the indenter may be either a diamond cone or a steel ball, depending principally on the characteristics of the material being tested. 1, record 3, English, - Rockwell%20superficial%20hardness%20test

Essai Rockwell. -Le pénétrateur est soit une bille, soit un cône de diamant (...) On mesure non pas la surface d'empreinte mais sa profondeur. Afin d'obtenir une surface de référence à partir de laquelle sera mesurée la pénétration du poinçon, on soumet celui-ci à une précharge faible (...) puis à une seconde charge (...) On mesure ensuite la distance (...) séparant les deux positions successives occupées par l'extrémité du pénétrateur. L'utilisation de la précharge permet d'éliminer les erreurs dues aux irrégularités de l'état de surface du métal. 1, record 5, French, - essai%20Rockwell
