GB/T 22067.3-2008 in English

This standard specifies the methods for the calibration of standard blocks used in instrumented indentation testing for determining hardness and material parameters of metallic materials. It provides detailed procedures for the preparation, verification, and use of standard blocks to ensure consistency and accuracy in test results. The scope includes the requirements for the material, surface finish, and dimensions of standard blocks, as well as the conditions under which they should be tested. The standard also outlines the parameters that should be measured and the criteria for accepting or rejecting standard blocks during the calibration process. It is applicable to all types of standard blocks used in instrumented indentation testing, regardless of the specific testing method employed. This document serves as a reference for laboratories and manufacturers involved in the production and use of standard blocks for hardness and material parameter testing.
