Vickers Hardness Number Calculator

What is Vickers Hardness Number?

Vickers Hardness Number is a measure of a material's relative hardness compared to that of steel.

The formula to calculate Vickers Hardness Number is:

$\text{VHN} = 1.854 \times \left(\frac{F}{D^2}\right)$

Where:

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$\text{VHN} = 1.854 \times \left(\frac{50}{2^2}\right) = 23.18$

The Vickers Hardness Number is 23.18.
