METROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF OPTICAL MEASURING SYSTEM FOR HARDNESS INDENTERS
Abstract
The verification of the geometry of Rockwell indenters has been widely studied in the past and, at the present, it is one of the most important tasks (in the uncertainty budget of hardness measurements) in discussion in many international organizations involved in the hardness field. The new measuring system designed in IMGC and developed in cooperation with AFFRI has been characterized and the results of the calibration are presented. The uncertainty evaluation has been calculated following the ISO guide on uncertainty evaluation. At the end, the results of the intercomparison between the new instrument and the instrument used up to now in IMGC laboratory, completely different from the point of view of measurement methodology, are presented.
