The first, and oldest, method is that of scratch testing where if material A can scratch material B, then material is harder than . The Mohs hardness scale is a system of reference materials against whose hardnesses a sample is compared.

The other method is a so-called "indent test," in which an "indenter" of defined geometry is pressed into the surface with a well-defined force. The penetration of the indenter is then related to a hardness number. These scales allow a more quantitative value than scratch tests. Popular hardness scales include the Rockwell hardness scales, Brinell hardness scale, and the Vickers hardness scale.; 0
