As abouve what is the standard Abbreviation I have always took it as HR I hnow E is used for Standard penetration but a fello engineer is adamant that the Abbreviation is RC ?

If my memory serves there are two different tests that give Rockwell hardness, HR(B) and HR©. I think one is a pointed thing dropped to thesurface to be tested, the other is a ball bearing or something similar, you then measure the indent left.

Try a search for 'durometer'

They are all related

Looking over my college work it all depends on the test method. We used a 120 degree diamond cone in our tests at college and the units were HRC. But the general denotation was HR then the letter was added afterwards. It also depends on the forces used in the test.
