BRINELL HARDNESS TEST The Brinell Test is an industry standard test that reflects the PSI tolerance of a surface - in our case, a floor.The test measures the effect of pressing a small steel ball (with a diameter of 10mm) similar to high-heels or furniture legs, into the flooring with 100KN (220.5 lbs.) of fixed force. More than 50 impressions are made on several samples of the wood. The diameter and depth of the indentations are careful measured to determine the hardness. This testing method is the most relevant and realistic method to determine surface hardness of wood floors. View Hardness Test |
