- Abstract:
- The measurement of hardness is used extensively by many of the world's manufacturing industries. The conventional hardness tests are the most commonly used methods for acceptance testing and production quality-control of metals and metallic products. For these industries to be successful, it is important that measurements made by suppliers and customers agree within some practical limits. Measurement traceability is a key factor in assuring hardness measurement agreement. This paper discusses the traceability issues related to the measurement of conventional hardness, including calibration, verification and uncertainty.
