Vickersi kõvadusarvu saab teisendada paskalitesse, kuid seda ei tohiks segi ajada rõhuga, mis kasutab samu ühikuid, kuna kõvadusarv mõõdetakse koormusega süvendi pindalal, mitte jõu suhtes normaalsel alal, ning seetõttu ei ole see rõhk.
The Vickers hardness number can be converted into units of pascals, but should not be confused with pressure, which uses the same units. The hardness number is determined by the load over the surface area of the indentation and not the area normal to the force, and is therefore not pressure.
