A hardened steel pocket scriber allowing geologists in the field, on site or in the lab to determine the hardness properties of geological material such as minerals or crystals by performing a scratch test in order to determine the sample being analysed. This is done according to the Moh’s scall of hardness. This scriber has a hardness of 7 to 8, features knurling on the body and a pocket clip.
The steel pocket scriber is a small size instrument with a hardened steel pointed tip. This item allows for geologists either working in the field or in a lab to perform a scratch test on minerals and crystals in order to determine the hardness of the material according to the, Moh’s scale of hardness. The tip is made of hardened steel, placing it from 7 to 8 on the Moh’s scale. It is also reversible, allowing for safe storage in your pockets without the risk of injury. In addition, the body features knurling for excellent grip and a pocket clip. If you require to test harder minerals, such as corundum. It is ideal to instead use the tungsten carbide scriber version instead.
Additionally, should you wish to test the magnetic properties of a specimen, a Swing Magnetic Pen offers easier results. Furthermore, our range of Magnetic Susceptibility Meters is worthwhile, should you require specific data measurements and sets to plot.
