HS Code 9024
Material Properties Testing Equipment
HS code 9024 covers machines and appliances for testing the hardness, strength, compressibility, elasticity, or other mechanical properties of materials such as
HS Code 9024 — Material Properties Testing Equipment
These machines perform stress tests on solid materials like metal, plastic, or wood. They determine physical characteristics such as how much pressure a material can take before it snaps or how far it can stretch.
What's included
- Hardness testing machines
- Tensile strength testers
- Compression testing machines
- Ductility testers
- Bursting strength testers for paper
What's excluded
- Handheld measuring tools → use
9017(Micrometers and callipers measure dimensions, not internal mechanical properties.)
Common examples
- Rockwell hardness tester for steel
- Universal testing machine for plastic tension
- Vickers hardness testing system
- Textile fabric pilling tester
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 9024 and 9031?
Heading 9024 is specific to testing mechanical properties (stress/strain), while 9031 is for checking dimensions or surface defects.
