 Directions For Using The HT-45RC Hardness Tester

1. The piece to be checked should have a section size of
1" or more.
2. Prepare piece to be checked by grinding a spot to
remove casting or machine marks.
3. Turn tester upside down allowing ball to seat in cap.
4. Turn tester right side up and place on spot that has
been ground.
5. Tester should be held as vertical and steady as possible.
6. Slowly depress trigger, do not strike as you will not get
an accurate reading.
7. Read top of the ball at the highest point of its bounce.
This is the Rockwell C reading.
