Feb 9, 2006
Existing standards for metal hardness tests are being revised and replaced by a new series.
Metals need to be rigorously tested for strength and hardness in order to conform to industry standards.
Current users of the Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers tests contained within BS EN ISO6506:1999, BS EN ISO6507:1998 or BS EN ISO6508:1999, should be aware that the existing standards for metal hardness tests are being revised and replaced by a new series.
Metal manufacturers, users and testers need to update their standards to keep up to speed with industry changes by adopting the guidance provided in the following revisions from BSI Business Information.
For each of the tests, all parts should be used.
The standards provide guidance on: test method; verification and calibration of testing machines; calibration of reference blocks; and tables of hardness values.
BS EN ISO6506-1:2005 "Metallic materials - Brinell hardness test - Test method" is priced at GBP 92 or GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6506-2:2005 "Metallic materials - Brinell hardness test - Verification and calibration of testing machines" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6506-3:2005 "Metallic materials - Brinell hardness test - Calibration of reference blocks" is priced at GBP 64 or, GBP 32 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6506-4:2005 "Metallic materials - Brinell hardness test - Tables of hardness values" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6507-1:2006 "Metallic materials - Vickers hardness test - Test method" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6507-2:2006 "Metallic materials - Vickers hardness test - Verification and calibration of testing machines" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6507-3:2006 "Metallic materials - Vickers hardness test - Calibration of reference blocks" is priced at GBP 64 or, GBP 32 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6507-4:2006 "Metallic materials - Vickers hardness test - Tables of hardness values" is priced at GBP 140 or, GBP 70 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6508-1:2005 "Metallic materials - Rockwell hardness test - Test method" is priced at GBP 106 or, GBP 53 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO6508-2:2005 "Metallic materials - Rockwell hardness test - Verification and calibration of testing machines" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
And BS EN ISO6508-3:2005 "Metallic materials - Rockwell hardness test - Calibration of reference blocks" is priced at GBP 92 or, GBP 46 to to BSI Subscribing Members.
These standards replace the BS EN ISO6506:1999, BS EN ISO6507:1998 and BS EN ISO6508:1999 series, respectively.
Some parts are available to order now and the rest on a pre-order basis.
Pre-ordered standards will be delivered on publication.
