Calibrated and certified hardness test blocks are an important part of the hardness testing. QPREP hardness test blocks fulfill the requirements for testing according to following standards:
- Rockwell
EN ISO 6508-3 & ASTM E18 - Brinell
EN ISO 6506-3 & ASTM E10 - Vickers
EN ISO 6507-3 & ASTM E92 - Knoop
EN ISO 4545-3 & ASTM E92
These are essential for indirect calibration and periodic verification, as well as the results documentation.
Product Advantages
- Calibration according to current ISO and ASTM standards
- Standard sample holder for automated periodic testing
- QpixControl2 - Calibration manager
- Option: Grid for hardness test block (QH00014010 )
- Option: Additional calibration of a hardness test block (QH0002401A )
All calibration data. All results. One workflow. QATM Calibration Manager
The new QATM Calibration Manager in QpixControl2 provides a structured way to plan, perform, and document regular standards-compliant verification of hardness testing machines using certified hardness reference blocks. Certification data, test sequences, and results are brought together in one consistent process.
- Structured planning and execution of regular verification
- Standards-compliant verification using certified hardness reference blocks
- Certification data, test sequences, and results in one workflow
- Consistent documentation for clear traceability
