Hardness. The vitamin A soft gelatin capsules procured by NI and UNICEF are used in public health programs worldwide. Unlike other preparations, the soft gelatin capsule is used in this case as a dropper to deliver its liquid contents directly into the recipient’s mouth. The capsule is not swallowed. To allow for optimal use of vitamin A soft gelatin capsules in the field, the capsule shell must be hard enough to withstand hot and humid conditions (i.e. not leaking or clumping with other capsules) but soft enough to be used as a dropper such that the entire liquid contents of the capsule can be squeezed gently into the child’s mouth with ease by health workers even while dosing numerous children in sequence during campaigns. In addition capsules must not be brittle (i.e. breaking or cracking at the seal when squeezed). In light of these considerations, manufacturers must set their own hardness limits (i.e. minimum and maximum) for (i) stability trials and (ii) point of release as measured by a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Hardness Tester, or equivalent.

Hardness. The product pellets are hard, formed layer-by-layer, in a process which is similar to what is found naturally in the formation of pearls. Tests indicate that the average pellet hardness is in the order of 50 to 60 Newtons (N), slightly higher than that of chemical fertilizers (which average approximately 50 N). As a result, handling and spreading of the product is relatively easy and dust- free.

Hardness. The hardness of each lot of material shall be determined by methods agreed between the Supplier and TIMET. The maximum hardness shall be *.

Hardness. The hardness measurement is used, with pH and ion ratios, to estimate the major cations and anions. Hardness is typically the total Ca and Mg ion concentrations, although if hardness is measured directly, other ions can sometimes affect it also. For this calculation, hardness is assumed to be equivalent to Ca + Mg, expressed in units of mg/L CaCO3.

Hardness. A. Blades will be selectively hardened front and back a primary and secondary hardness. B. The hardening pattern will start 5/8” +/- 1/8” above the bottom edge of the blade with a 3 1/2” width over the length of the blade. C. Primary hardness, Rockwell C 62 +/- 5, for a depth of 1/8” +/- 1/32” at the high point of the pattern. D. Secondary hardness, Rockwell C 50 +/- 5, for a minimum depth of 1/32” at the high point of the pattern.
