Russian translation:ед. твердости по шкале Кобба / Ньтютон
Explanation:
SCU = Strong Cobb Units (ед. твердости по шкале Кобба)
N = Н = Ньютон


Most materials testing is performed using the International System of Units (SI - from Le Systeme International d'Unites). The Newton is the preferred unit of force as is recognised by the SI system. However the kilogram can also be used.

Kilogram (kg) - The kilogramme is recognised by the SI system as the primary unit of mass.

Newton (N) - The Newton is the SI unit of force and is the unit that should be used for tablet hardness testing. 9.807 Newtons = 1 kilogram.

Pound (lb) - Technically a unit of mass but can also be used for force and should be written as pound force or lbf in this case. Sometimes used for tablet strength testing in North America, but it is not an SI unit. 1 kilogram = 2.204 pounds.

Some obsolete units that should no longer be used, include:

Kilopond (kp) - Not to be confused with a pound. A unit of force also called a kilogram of force. Still used today in some applications, but not recognised by the SI system, making it a bad choice for modern applications. 1 kilopond = 1 kgf.

Strong-Cobb (SC) - The Strong-Cobb is a legacy of the first tablet hardness testing machines (see history), it is an arbitrary unit, never recognised by the SI system. 1.4 Strong-Cobs are thought to equal about 1 kg, although this conversion factor has no scientific definition.

agree  Kirill Semenov: с Ньютоном понятно изначально, а вот с этой шкалой мучения. В английском полнО ссылок, а русском - почти нет. Что странно.

  -> А по-моему, не странно: если это внесистемная единица, то в русских текстах ее игнорируют и используют системные; а западные авторы, судя по всему, своего Кобба любят

agree  Nik-On/Off: Хотел к чему-нибудь придраться, но не к чему :)
32 mins
  -> Вот и славненько :)

agree  Ludwig Chekhovtsov: Да, может быстрых разумом "Ньтютонов" российская земля рождать... Это я к тому, что если хотеть, то придраться можно ко всему...

agree  Tatiana Nikitina: В англоязычной Википедии написано, что единица названа в честь фирмы Strong-Cobb, а не в честь человека (фамилия изобретателя - Альбрехт). Наверное, лучше будет писать "единица Strong-Cobb"
