FAQ’S

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

A hardness testing machine is used to measure the hardness of materials. This is important in many industries to ensure that materials meet specific quality standards and can perform their intended functions.

Hardness testing machines can be used to test a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites.

Hardness test blocks are samples of materials with a known and consistent hardness. They are used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of hardness testing machines.

During the calibration process, a hardness test block is placed under the indenter of a hardness testing machine, and the hardness value is measured. This value is then compared to the known hardness value of the block to ensure that the testing equipment is providing accurate results.

Some common types of hardness test blocks include cylindrical, rectangular, and spherical blocks made of materials such as steel, tungsten carbide, or ceramics.

It is recommended to calibrate hardness testing machines using hardness test blocks at regular intervals, such as annually or after a certain number of tests, to ensure reliable results.

Factors that can affect the accuracy of hardness testing machines include improper calibration, improper use of the testing equipment, variations in the surface finish or preparation of the test sample, and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
