I think the Rockwell scale is used to measure hardness of metals. Or maybe we're talking about flying squirrels.

Rockwell is a measure of the hardness and thus the tensile strength of materials.

Take diamonds which are the hardest material known at put it at 100, then take the softest stuff you know of and put it at 1, and you've got the Rockwell (named after the inventor) scale.
