I am looking for more information with regards to Rockwell 15N. I know it is a superficial testing method, and that it uses a diamond tip. From the rockwell machine i have it suggests that a different indentor is needed. Does anybody have more information regarding this testing method. Thanks.

Rockwell 15N uses the spheroconical diamond indenter just like the HRA & HRC scales. The difference is that it uses a 29.42 N (3 kgf) minor force and a 147.1 N (15 kgf) major force.
This is a great reference for Rockwell hardness testing:
