Instructions
B Scale : Use the A.B.C Standard Rockwell Hardness Tester with a 100 kg load, 1/6* steel ball penetrator and teh steel anvil. 30N Scale : Use the Superficial Rockwell Hardness Tester with a 30 kg load the diamond point N-Brale Penetrator and the steel anvil.
C-Scale : Use the A.B.C. Standard Rockwell Hardness Tester with a 150 kg load the diamond point brale penetrator and the steel anvil. 15T Scale : Use the Superficial Rockwell Hardness Tester with a 15 kg load 1/16* steel ball penetrator and the diamond anvil.
30T-Scale : Use the Superficial Rockwell Hardness Tester with a 30 kg load, 1.16 steel ball penetrator and either the diamond or the steel anvil. 15N-Scale : Use the Superficial Rockwell hardness Tester with a 15 kg load the diamond point N-Brale penetrator and the steel anvil.
