Applications:

This can be used to measure winding density(hardness) of textile bobbins, beams, spools, cones, dye packages, etc.  


Measuring Principle:

This works on spring load and penetration depth principle, where the resistance force from the penetration against the sample is measured to estimate the hardness. Similar principle to Shore hardness testing of rubbers.
