RS ISO 6508-2: 2023
Metallic materials — Rockwell hardness test — Part 2: Verification and calibration of testing machines and indenters
Abstract

This document specifies two separate methods of verification of testing machines (direct and indirect)
for determining Rockwell hardness in accordance with ISO 6508-1, together with a method for verifying
Rockwell hardness indenters.
The direct verification method is used to determine whether the main parameters associated with
the machine function, such as applied force, depth measurement, and testing cycle timing, fall within
specified tolerances. The indirect verification method uses a number of calibrated reference hardness
blocks to determine how well the machine can measure a material of known hardness.
This document is applicable to stationary and portable hardness testing machines.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of tungsten carbide composite for ball indenters is considered
to be the standard type of Rockwell indenter ball.
