Abstract

This paper describes the investigations of alignment effects and the influence of force transducer creep in conventional hardness tests performed on GUM’s deadweight-type Rockwell Hardness Standard Machine (HSM), Vickers Hardness Machine (HM), Brinell HM and INRiM’s Primary Hardness Standard Machine (PHSM).
