Abstract

After successful implementation of two hardness standardizing machines at TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) in Rockwell and Brinell-Vickers hardness scales separately, it is aimed to combine them in a newer design and install in Hardness Laboratory of TÜBİTAK UME (National Metrology Institute of Türkiye). Design of such a national standard was made for Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers hardness scales within the scope of an internally funded project. In this paper installation and metrological characterization of the Rockwell-Brinell-Vickers hardness standard machine (RBVHSM) with dead weight force application system and laser interferometer developed by TÜBİTAK UME Hardness Laboratory is explained in detail.
