1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the Brinell

hardness of metallic materials by the Brinell indentation

hardness principle. This standard provides the requirements for

a Brinell testing machine and the procedures for performing

Brinell hardness tests.

1.2 This standard includes additional requirements in four

annexes:

Verification of Brinell Hardness Testing Machines Annex A1

Brinell Hardness Standardizing Machines Annex A2

Standardization of Brinell Hardness Indenters Annex A3

Standardization of Brinell Hardness Test Blocks Annex A4

1.3 This standard includes nonmandatory information in an

appendix which relates to the Brinell hardness test:

Table of Brinell Hardness Numbers Appendix X1

Examples of Procedures for Determining

Brinell Hardness Uncertainty

Appendix X2

1.4 At the time the Brinell hardness test was developed, the

force levels were specified in units of kilograms-force (kgf).

Although this standard specifies the unit of force in the

International System of Units (SI) as the Newton (N), because

of the historical precedent and continued common usage of kgf

units, force values in kgf units are provided for information and

much of the discussion in this standard refers to forces in kgf

units.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the

safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the

responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate

safety and health practices and determine the applicability

of regulatory limitations prior to use.
