<p>The <b>Knoop hardness test</b>  is a microhardness test - a test for mechanical <a href="page.php?w=hardness">hardness</a> used particularly for very brittle materials or thin sheets, where only a small indentation may be made for testing purposes. A <a href="page.php?w=pyramid">pyramid</a>al <a href="page.php?w=diamond">diamond</a> point is pressed into the polished surface of the test material with a known (often 100&nbsp;g) load, for a specified dwell time, and the resulting indentation is measured using a <a href="page.php?w=microscope">microscope</a>.</p><p>
