    Potters lead hardness tester

    I have an old Potters Lead Hardness Tester.
    I have downloaded the instructions for it.
    The scale they use doesn't tell what the Bh is.
    This is it...........
    The following table is a guide for using the Tester:
    2-1/2 Scale Reading is approximately 10 to 1
    4 Scale Reading is approximately 15 to 1
    5 Scale Reading is approximately 18 to 1
    6 Scale Reading is approximately 25 to 1
    Anyone know what the Bh would be????

    Send a PM to Roundnoser. He's the custodian of the Potter information and maybe he can help you.

    Hope this helps.
