Standard Practice for Rapid Indentation Hardness Testing of Metallic Materials

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice is used when it is desired to make Brinell type hardness tests very rapidly on a high volume of specimens, as in the inspection of the output of a heat-treating furnace.

4.2 This practice requires the measurement of indentation depth and eliminates the need to measure the diameter of the indentation optically as required in a Brinell hardness test.

4.3 This practice is not a standard Brinell hardness test method and does not meet the requirements of Test Method E10.

4.4 Since the test forces and method of display of the depth measurement differ between manufacturers of rapid indentation hardness testing equipment, the test results from equipment from different manufacturers are not comparable.
