Description
A hardness scale based on measuring indentations that was developed in 1939 by F. Knoop, a 20th century chemist. The Knoop hardness scale ranges from glass (300-600) to diamond (6000-6500). A Knoop hardness tester drops a pointed diamond indentor onto a material then examines the size and depth of the indentation to determine surface hardness. This test is generally used on brittle materials like ceramics.
