Expert Commentary
Covers the Hardness Test (Janka Ball). A 11.28 mm diameter steel ball is pressed into the panel to a depth of half its diameter. The Janka value is critical for flooring applications. MTO’s hardness tool includes an electronic limit switch or high-resolution displacement trigger that stops the test exactly at the half-diameter mark. This prevents operator error and ensures that the Projected Area (100 square mm) remains the consistent denominator in the hardness stress calculation.
