| This is a screen shot from the freeware units conversion program "Uconeer" from Katmar Software. It is designed specifically for engineers and scientists. Click here to read the full program description and to download the software. |
| This function will allow you to convert between hardness scales for carbon steel and steel alloys. The scales available include hardness conversion tables for Brinell, Knoop, Equotip, Rockwell, Shore Scleroscope and Vickers, as well as being able to convert to or from Tensile Strength in all the units available in Uconeer. |
| The hardness conversions are done using curves fitted to experimental data for hardness equivalents. This makes it much easier to use than printed hardness conversion tables as there is no need to interpolate between the reported data points. The program automatically also works out the applicable ranges, as not all hardness scales overlap each other and conversions are only possible over certain data ranges. |
