A laboratory study of Equotip surface hardness measurements on a range of sandstones: What influences the values and what do they mean?

The Equotip rebound tester is a simple, non‐destructive technique to measure the surface hardness of materials. Having a low impact energy gives the Equotip advantages over the commonly used Schmidt Hammer on weathered rock and stone. In this study we have investigated the influence of different par...
