Summary of Test Methods4.1 Apendulum resting on a coating surface is set into oscillation (rocking) and the time for the oscillation amplitude to decreaseby
10、a specified amount measured. The shorter the damping time, the lower the hardness.damping time is influenced by acombination of physical properties, amongst hardness, elasticity, coefficient of friction and shore of the sample under test. Thedamping time decreases with the decrease of hardness or an

16、and Use5.1 The pendulum damping test has been found to have good sensitivity in detecting differences in coating hardness, wherehardness is defined as resistance to deformation.5.2 The two procedures given in these test methods embody the principle that the amplitude of oscillation of a pendulumtouc
17、hing a surface decreases more rapidly the softer the surface. However, these test methods differ in respect to pendulumdimensions, and period and amplitude of oscillation.5.3 In general, the damping time of the Knig pendulum is approximately half that of the Persoz pendulum.5.4 The Persoz pendulum h
18、as a greater degree of discrimination than the Knig for measuring the hardness of soft coatings, butit may not be as suitable for testing hard, slippery films because of its tendency to skid on surfaces with a low coefficient of friction.5.5 The interaction between the pendulum and the paint film is
19、 complex, depending on both elastic and viscoelastic properties,and it may not be possible to establish a precise relationship between the two types of pendulum tests.TEST METHOD AAKNIG PENDULUM HARDNESS TEST6.
