Brinell Hardness Number Calculator

Brinell Hardness Number Calculator

Calculate BHN using the formula: $$ BHN = \frac{2P}{\pi D \Bigl(D – \sqrt{D^2 – d^2}\Bigr)} $$

* Ensure \(D^2 \ge d^2\) and use consistent units (P in kgf, D and d in mm).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

e.g., 300 kgf

e.g., 10 mm

e.g., 5 mm
