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:
These are essential for indirect calibration and periodic verification, as well as the results documentation.
The QATM Calibration Manager inside QpixControl2 Software supports in the periodic standard-compliance testing on hardness tester. Measurement accuracy is visualized to show the consistency of the measuring accuracy of the test method with the current standard. By using original QATM QPREP hardness test blocks in combination with the standard sample holder for test blocks, verification process runs fully automatically. A comprehensive range of statistical functions has also been built in. All results from the tests are clearly and logically documented and can be presented whenever there is an audit.
The various indenters are to be selected according to the respective test method (Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell and Knoop). The selection of QPREP indenters, test diamonds and carbide balls, which are certified according to DAkkS and/or ASTM, QATM, provides a broad test equipment portfolio for hardness testing.
