With the hardness scale converter you can convert hardness values between the common hardness scales: Vickers (HV), Rockwell C (HRC), Rockwell B (HRB), Brinell (HB), Shore (HS) and Leeb D (HLD). Simply enter the measured value and select the hardness scale to get the converted values. The conversion provides approximate values and does not replace a measurement in the respective hardness scale. The conversion applies to steel only. Suitable measuring instruments can be found under Hardness testers, reference blocks for calibration under Hardness test blocks.
