Scleroscope Hardness (Test)

A method for measuring the hardness of metals; a diamond pointed hammer drops from a fixed distance through a tube onto the smoothed metal surface and the rebound measured. The scleroscope hardness value is empirically taken from the rebound distance, with a specified high carbon steel as 100.
