The Knoop hardness test is a microhardness test - a test for mechanical hardness used particularly for very brittle materials or thin sheets, where only a small indentation may be made for testing purposes
A pyramidal diamond point is pressed into the polished surface of the test material with a known force, for a specified dwell time, and the resulting indentation is measured using a microscope. The geometry of this indenter is an extended pyramid with the length to width ratio being 7:1 and respective face angles are 172 degrees for the long edge and 130 degrees for the short edge. The depth of the indentation can be approximated as 1/30 of the long dimension.
The Knoop hardness HK or KHN is then given by the formula:
where:
- L = length of indentation along its long axis
- Cp = correction factor related to the shape of the indenter, ideally 0.070279
- P = load
The advantages of the test are that only a very small sample of material is required, and that it is valid for a wide range of test forces. The main disadvantages are the difficulty of using a microscope to measure the indentation (with an accuracy of 0.5 micrometre), and the time needed to prepare the sample and apply the indenter.

Box compression testers play a crucial role when it comes to ensuring the durability and quality of packaging materials. A box compression tester is a specialised device used to measure the compressive strength of packaging boxes. This ensures that the boxes can withstand the pressures they will encounter during transportation and storage. Effective Lab India is a leading manufacturer or supplier of box compression strength testers.
