Abstract

Developments in reference standards in Hardness Laboratory of TÜBİTAK UME (National Metrology Institute of Türkiye) and the demand received from calibration and testing laboratories forced us to develop a new hardness indentation measurement system (HIMS) that covers all Brinell, Vickers and Knoop hardness indentation measurements. In this design it has been aimed at automatization of measurements, constitution of different methods for determination of border of indentation and in turn measurement of the size (diameter and diagonal length) of indentations. In this paper design, installation and metrological characterization of HIMS developed by TÜBİTAK UME Hardness Laboratory is explained in detail.
