Knoop Hardness (HK or KHN)
Knoop Hardness (HK or KHN) :
A measure of the hardness of a metal introduced by Knoop in 1939. The Knoop test is similar to the Vickers test in that a diamond penetrator is used to indent the sample being tested, but it uses a rhombohedral diamond rather than a pyramidal diamond point. It is similar to the Rockwell test in that the hardness measure is the depth of the penetration rather than its area. The result is measured in kilograms of force per square millimeter but should be stated as an empirical measurement, without units
