OverviewCalibrated and certified hardness test blocks are an important part of hardness testing. QPREP hardness test blocks fulfill the requirements for testing according to the following standards:
- Rockwell
EN ISO 6508-3 & ASTM E18 - Brinell
EN ISO 6506-3 & ASTM E10 - Vickers
EN ISO 6507-3 & ASTM E92 - Knoop
EN ISO 4545-3 & ASTM E92
These test blocks are essential for indirect calibration and periodic verification, as well as for results documentation.
Product Advantages- Calibration according to current ISO and ASTM standards
- Standard sample holder for automated periodic testing
- QpixControl2 - Calibration manager
- Option: Grid for hardness test block (QH00014010)
- Option: Additional calibration of a hardness test block (QH0002401A)
Calibration Manager (QpixControl2)The QATM Calibration Manager inside QpixControl2 software supports periodic standard-compliance testing on hardness testers. Measurement accuracy is visualized to show the consistency of the measuring accuracy of the test method with the current standard. Using original QATM QPREP hardness test blocks in combination with the standard sample holder for test blocks enables fully automatic verification processes. The Calibration Manager includes a comprehensive range of statistical functions. All test results are clearly and logically documented and can be presented for audits.
