We present a study on the hard X-ray spectrum (>15 keV) of different classes of Seyfert galaxies observed with BeppoSAX/PDS. Using hard X-ray data, we avoid absorption effects modifying the Seyfert emission and we have directly access to the central engine of these sources. The aim of this study is first to characterize the general properties of the hard X-ray spectrum of Seyfert 1, 1.5 and 2 galaxies and secondly to compare their intrinsic emission to test unified models according to which all the classes have the same nucleus. We show differences of the intrinsic emission between Sy 1, Sy 1.5 and Sy 2 galaxies. We are thus led to think that the unified model may not be sufficient to explain the differences between the classes of Seyfert galaxies.
