Hardness Conversion
Data Charts of Hardness
In all Seeger-Orbis data charts (catalog), the hardness is given in Rockwell C (HRC) and Vickers (HV). Vickers hardness can be measured on all thicknesses at an appropriate load. Due to the high test load of 150 kg, Rockwell measurement can only be applied to thicknesses in excess of 1.1 mm. Vickers hardness must be measured on smaller thicknesses.
Converting hardness values always involves inaccuracies. Whenever possible, conversions should be avoided, although it cannot always be avoided completely. This applies to all conversions, from hardness values to strength, and vice versa.
Converting hardness to strength according to DIN EN 180 18265 (2004-02), old: DIN 50180).
