Brinell Reference Blocks

HBW 10/3000

BRINELL REFERENCE BLOCK

DETAILS

Block diameter: 90mm

Block thickness: 16mm

Available hardness values: 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 / 450 / 500 / 550 / 600 / 650

Calibration details: The hardness reference block will be examined in the UPI calibration laboratory and will be found to comply with the requirements of ISO 6506-3 and ASTM E10. The hardness reference block value will be calibrated on a standardizing machine complying with the requirements of ISO 6506-3 and ASTM E10 having hardness scales traceable to the National Scales as defined by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt National Metrology Institute, Braunschweig, Germany.

Calibration temp.: (23 ± 2) °C

 

Relative humidity: < 70 %rh

Validity: This hardness reference block will only be valid for the scale for which it was calibrated. It is recommended that the duration of the calibration validity should be limited to 5 years. Attention is drawn to the fact that, for Al-alloys and Cu-alloy, the calibration validity should be reduced to 2 to 3 years.

Uncertainty: The reported expanded uncertainty will be based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor k=2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95%. The uncertainty evaluation will be carried out in accordance with International requirements.

Traceability: All measurements involved will traceable to international applicable standards.
