STEEL HARDNESS CONVERSION CALCULATOR

HRB, HRC, HB AND HV


ABOUT STEEL HARDNESS CONVERSION CALCULATOR

Steel hardness is a critical parameter that directly influences a material's performance in various applications. Different scales, such as Rockwell C (HRC), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV), and Rockwell B (HRB), are employed to quantify the hardness of steel and other metals. Each scale offers unique insights into a material's mechanical properties, making it crucial to be able to translate hardness values from one scale to another accurately. Our Steel Hardness Conversion Calculator covers all the four important Hardness measuring scales.

How to Use the Steel Hardness Conversion Calculator:

  • Enter the hardness value you wish to convert into the "Enter Hardness Value" field.
  • Select the source hardness scale from the dropdown menu.
  • Choose the target hardness scale you would like to convert to.
  • Click the "Convert" button to receive the conversion results from our Steel Hardness Conversion Calculator.

Since the various types of hardness tests do not all measure the same combination of material properties, conversion from one hardness scale to another is only an approximate process. Because of the wide range of variation among different materials, it is not possible to state confidence limits for the errors in using a conversion chart.


Whether you're involved in materials testing, research and development, or quality control, our Steel Hardness Conversion Calculator empowers you to optimize your steel analysis processes. By accurately translating hardness values between different scales, you ensure comprehensive and standardized material assessments.

The ability to convert hardness values from one scale to another is indispensable for engineers and quality control experts. For instance, a supplier might provide hardness values in Rockwell C, while your project's specifications require Brinell measurements. Our Steel Hardness Conversion Calculator simplifies this process, ensuring seamless communication and adherence to industry standards.
