INSTALLATION AND METROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH LOAD BRINELL HARDNESS STANDARD MACHINE AT TÜBİTAK UME

C. Kuzu, E. Pelit
Abstract:
Improvements in quality assurance in the field of hardness testing and demand received from calibration and testing laboratories as well as hardness testing machine producers and other users made it inevitable to develop a high load Brinell hardness standard machine (HLBHSM) at Hardness Laboratory of TÜBİTAK UME (National Metrology Institute of Türkiye). Design of such a national standard was made for high load Brinell hardness scales within the scope of an internally funded project. In this paper installation and metrological characterization of HLBHSM with dead weight force application system developed by TÜBİTAK UME Hardness Laboratory is explained in detail.
