2020-3-15 That's why a 9H callout is generally placed somewhere prominent on a package. It refers to Mohs hardness scale of minerals in a range from 1 to 10. On this scale, regular glass is placed at 5 and a diamond is at the highest 10. This hardness is measured by the ability of minerals to scratch each other's surfaces.

Marble Hardness. Marble, for example, is a comparatively soft stone. Its hardness, as per the Mohs scale, stands at nearly 3 – slightly harder than alabaster or gypsum. This is why marble also emerges as a great natural stone choice for sculpting purposes. Besides marble, travertine also features a hardness of 3.

The Rockwell Superficial Hardness Tester was chosen as the testing device, since its features encompass the requirements necessary for testing these gypsum materials. For these relatively soft gypsum materials, a large penetrator and a light load are necessary to obtain a scale reading. This machine applies a minor load of 3 kg.

2018-2-21 Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness The Mohs scale was devised by Friedrich Mohs in 1812. You use the scale by testing your unknown mineral against a known standard. Whichever one scratches the other is harder, and if both scratch each other they are the same hardness. The Mohs scale is strictly a relative scale.

2022-1-10 On the MOHS scale of hardness, alabaster (gypsum) has a rating of 1.5 – 2. This stone, from the Volterra region of Italy, is a medium soft stone that will carve and polish easily. It is a solid white – light will not filter through the stone as it does with a translucent white alabaster. There may be some veining.

2017-8-24 Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness. In 1812 the Mohs scale of mineral hardness was devised by the German mineralogist Frederich Mohs (1773-1839), who selected the ten minerals because they were common or readily available.
