Comprehensive standard for instrumented indentation testing of metallic materials. Ensures accurate, reliable measurements for quality control and material research.

Comprehensive Standard for Instrumented Indentation Testing

BS EN ISO 14577-2:2015 is the essential standard for anyone working with metallic materials and requiring accurate, reliable instrumented indentation testing. This standard, identical to EN ISO 14577-2:2015 and ISO 14577-2:2015, provides detailed guidelines and requirements for the method of instrumented indentation testing, ensuring consistent and repeatable results across industries and applications.

Ensure Accurate, Reliable Measurements

Instrumented indentation testing is a powerful technique for evaluating the mechanical properties of metallic materials, including:

  • Hardness
  • Elastic modulus
  • Yield strength
  • Work hardening characteristics

BS EN ISO 14577-2:2015 ensures that these critical measurements are conducted in a standardized, repeatable manner, providing you with the confidence to make informed decisions about material selection, quality control, and product development.

Comprehensive Guidelines for Test Procedures

This standard covers all aspects of the instrumented indentation testing process, including:

  • Test equipment requirements and calibration
  • Sample preparation and test setup
  • Indentation force application and measurement
  • Calculation of mechanical properties from the indentation data
  • Test report requirements

By following the detailed guidelines in BS EN ISO 14577-2:2015, you can ensure that your test results are accurate, reliable, and comparable to industry benchmarks, regardless of the specific equipment or laboratory used.

Ensure Compliance and Quality Control

Compliance with BS EN ISO 14577-2:2015 is essential for a wide range of industries, including:

  • Aerospace and defense
  • Automotive manufacturing
  • Medical device production
  • Materials research and development

By adhering to this standard, you can demonstrate your commitment to quality, reliability, and technical excellence, giving your customers and stakeholders the confidence they need to trust your products and services.
