Umthungo oqondile wepayipi elishiselwe indawo yokucisha kanye nokwelashwa kokushisa okushisayo kuvame ukwenziwa ngokushisa okungeniswayo noma ukushisisa ilangabi. Imingcele yezobuchwepheshe eyinhloko ubulukhuni bobuso, ubulukhuni bendawo kanye nokujula kongqimba oluqinile olusebenzayo. Ukuhlola ubulukhuni kungase kusetshenziswe i-Vickers tester hardness, i-Rockwell noma i-surface Rockwell tester yokuqina ingasetshenziswa. Lapho ungqimba oluqinile lokwelashwa kokushisa luwugqinsi, i-Rockwell hardness test nayo ingasetshenziswa.

Uma ubulukhuni bendawo bezingxenye kudingeka ukuthi bube phezulu, ukucishwa kokungeniswa kanye nezinye izindlela kungasetshenziswa ekwelashweni kokushisa kokucisha kwendawo. Ipayipi elihlanganisiwe elinjalo eliqondile livame ukuphawulwa ngendawo yokwelashwa kokushisa okucisha kwendawo kanye nenani lobulukhuni bendawo emdwebeni. Ukuhlolwa kokuqina kwamapayipi ashiselwe umthungo oqondile kufanele kwenziwe endaweni ebekiwe.

Amanani amathathu obulukhuni be-Vickers, i-Rockwell ne-Surface Rockwell angaguqulelwa kalula kwelinye futhi aguqulelwe abe amazinga, imidwebo noma amanani okuqina adingwa abasebenzisi.
