The Rockwell hardness test utilizes 1 of 6 different main loads: 15 kgf, 30 kgf, 45 kgf, 60 kgf, 100 kgf, or 150 kgf. In total, this gives 30 different Rockwell scales. Each one is characterized by a different combination of indenter type and main load, and is suitable for a particular material or application (for example, HRA, HRB, HRC, HR30N).Web
