As you can see in the image, the higher the H value, the lighter the result but the finer the point, while at the other end, the higher the B value, the darker the blackness of the graphite and wider the point. Using this scale, the hardness of the core is often marked on the pencil — look for a number (such as “2” “2-1/2” or “3”). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

In Japan, consumers tend to prefer softer darker leads, so an HB lead produced in Japan is generally softer and darker than an HB from European producers.Finding what works best for your own artistic and writing needs is generally a matter of personal preference and experimentation with different brands of pencils. In reality however, there is no specific industry standard for the darkness of the mark to be left within the HB or any other hardness grade scale. I’m well aware NOW that the description clearly states it’s only one but I didn’t read the description before I bought this). then we will only use functional and analytical cookies and you will continue to see random advertisements.

With their HB lead and eraser tip, these 3 graphite pencils are perfect for everyday use, in the office, at home or at school. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. Rather than bonding pieces of wood together in several stages, as in the case of traditional graphite and coloured pencils, pencils made from WOPEX are produced in a mould.According to Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, the clay content varies from 15 % in the softest lead to ca.

The STAEDTLER Noris digital combines the appeal and feel of a pencil with the technology of an S Pen stylus.In this case, all materials required for the production of pencils are pressed together in the form of granules to form a sort of continuous pencil. Well, it all has to do with the HB graphite grading scale used to classify the pencil’s graphite core. Made in France with unique expertise, these wood-free pencils offer the quality that has been associated with BIC products for years.

In 1794, Nicholas-Jaques Conté and Joseph Hardtmuth independently discovered almost at the same time that by mixing graphite with clay it was possible to produce leads with different degrees of hardness, which would preserve the graphite deposits and also accommodate a variety of applications.Our pencils in ergonomic triangular shape are ideal for all learners and those who spend a lot of time writing. The Lumograph aquarell is available in three graded consistent degrees of hardness and is therefore particularly suitable for creating a variety of grey and black tones in conjunction with water. The red and black striped models from our traditional series offer comparable quality to our Noris pencils.
