BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018

Comprehensive Vickers Hardness Testing Standard

BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018 is the essential standard for conducting Vickers hardness tests on metallic materials. This British Standard, identical to ISO 6507-2:2018, provides detailed guidelines and requirements for the Vickers hardness test method, ensuring consistent and reliable results across industries.

Ensure Accurate Material Hardness Evaluation

Vickers hardness testing is a crucial quality control measure for a wide range of metallic products, from automotive components to aerospace alloys. BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018 equips you with the technical specifications to:

• Properly set up and calibrate Vickers hardness testing equipment
• Perform accurate indentation measurements and hardness calculations
• Interpret test results and determine material properties
• Maintain consistent testing procedures across multiple locations

Comply with International Standards

As an identical adoption of ISO 6507-2:2018, this British Standard ensures your Vickers hardness testing practices align with global best practices. By implementing BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018, you can:

• Demonstrate compliance with essential metallurgy standards
• Facilitate international trade and supply chain integration
• Enhance the credibility and acceptance of your test results
• Avoid costly non-compliance issues and product rejections

Comprehensive Technical Guidance

BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018 provides detailed technical specifications for every aspect of the Vickers hardness test method, including:

• Test Principle: Indentation of a test piece by a diamond indenter under a specified load, with the diagonal lengths of the resulting indentation measured and used to calculate the Vickers hardness number.
• Test Equipment: Requirements for the design, construction, and calibration of Vickers hardness testing machines.
• Test Procedure: Step-by-step guidelines for specimen preparation, load application, indentation measurement, and hardness calculation.
• Test Report: Necessary information to be included in the final test report, such as test conditions, results, and uncertainty.

Whether you're conducting in-house material testing or outsourcing to a third-party laboratory, BS EN ISO 6507-2:2018 is an essential resource for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and compliance of your Vickers hardness testing program.
