Metallic materials - Brinell hardness test - Part 2: Verification of Brinell hardness testing machines

Scope

This Draft European Standard specifies a method for the verification of testing machines used for determining Brinell hardness in accordance with EN 10003-1. It describes a direct verification method for checking the main functions of the machine, and an indirect verification method suitable for the overall checking of the machine. If a testing machine is also to be used for other methods of hardness testing, it shall be verified independently for each method.
