Hello and thank you for the video. I would like to check a thin (1.2 mm thick) , mid carbon steel ...is it better to use scale B? If yes , is the procedure the same as in your video, but applying 100 kg load instead of 150kg? Thank you all in advance
So, I guess you'd have to cut off a small part of the screw shank, then to hold it, probably embed it in a solid epoxy holding medium, to hold it in line with the penetrator, correct?
Good question. That is tiny. I tried it with a 6-40 because that is the smallest screw we had and it worked fine. You must have a flat end on the screw for it to work. However, if the end of the screw is not flat you could grind it flat to test.

Its easy but you need to check that the tool is tight and in good operation. I found these to be very delicate but did the job. Training is imperative

Can this be used to test the hardness of various plastic filaments, such as ABS and PLA, used for 3d printing?

Does this video show two different results for the same piece of metal?
This screw is a small 5-40 machine screw, how would you hold something that small to get a reading from the end of the screw?
whats the difference between standard and Superficial testers
can this be used for knife steel
Yes it can. Just make sure you find a flat spot on the blade to get an accurate result
Instead checking the diameter, test the ends or the shank. Yes, the Ames Tester will do the job.
