FORCE CALIBRATION OF INSTRUMENTED HARDNESS TESTERS

Giulio Barbato, Gabriele Brondino, Maurizio Galetto
Abstract:
In this paper a methodology for calibration of force transducers used for hardness testers is described. The methodology associates to the standard procedure a method to evaluate and correct other effects such as promptness, creep and hysteresis. After a general description, a practical application is reported.
