ISO 6508-2 Metallic Materials, Rockwell Hardness Testing, Part 2: Standard Test for Verification and Calibration of Test Machines and Indents

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 6508-2 standard. ISO 6508-2 specifies two separate verification methods (direct and indirect) of test machines for determining Rockwell hardness according to ISO 6508-1, along with a method for verifying Rockwell hardness indentations.

The direct verification method is used to determine if the main parameters associated with the machine function, such as applied force, depth measurement, and test cycle timing, are within specified tolerances. The indirect verification method uses a set of calibrated reference hardness blocks to determine how well the machine can measure a material of known hardness.

If a testing machine is also to be used for other hardness testing methods, it must be verified independently for each method.

ISO 6508-2 is applicable to stationary and portable hardness testing machines. Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of tungsten carbide composite for ball recesses is considered the standard type of Rockwell recess ball.
