The test measures the force required to push a steel ball with a diameter of 11.28 millimetres (100 mm2&nbsp;area at it widest) into the wood to a depth of half the ball&#8217;s diameter (5.64 mm).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/app\/images\/Janka_hardness.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>Testing is conducted using a constant rate of extension (CRE) testing unit. The compressive load required to force the ball to 5.64mm into the specimen is recorded and expressed as the hardness value. A number of individual tests are conducted and results averaged to determine the Janka Hardness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINK to Fact Sheet:&nbsp;<a href=\"index.php\/about\/brochures\/janka-hardness-test-2\/download\" class=\"edocmanxtdlink\">Janka Hardness Test<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12pt;\">CONTACT US:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please do not hesitate to contact us in regards to Janka Hardness testing or for further information\/pricing requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone:&nbsp;(03) 9371 2400 or&nbsp;Email:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:producttesting@awta.com.au\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:producttesting@awta.com.au\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:producttesting@awta.com.au\">producttesting@awta.com.au<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janka Hardness &#8211; is a measure of the hardness of wood.
