Introduction

GB/T32660.3-2016 Standard Overview

GB/T32660.3-2016 "Metallic Material Webster Hardness Test Part 3: Calibration of Standard Hardness Blocks" is a Chinese national standard used to regulate the manufacturing, calibration and use requirements of standard hardness blocks in the Webster hardness test of metallic materials.

Technical requirements for standard hardness blocks

1. Manufacturing process: The standard block should have homogeneity, structural stability and surface hardness uniformity to ensure the reliability of the test results.

2. Geometric dimensions: Table 1 specifies the length, width, thickness, flatness and parallelism requirements of the standard block, among which the flatness of the test surface and the support surface should be ≤0.10mm.

3. Hardness range: Table 2 clarifies the hardness range and uniformity requirements under different hardness tester types, for example, the uniformity of type A hardness tester should be ≤0.5HWA.

Calibration method and technical details

  • Calibration conditions: The standard block should be calibrated within the temperature range of (23±5)℃ to ensure the stability of the measurement environment.
  • Number of indentations: Five indentations should be evenly distributed on the test surface of each standard block to calculate the arithmetic mean of the hardness value.
  • Hardness conversion: The Webster hardness (HW) and Rockwell hardness (HRE) are compared with each other through the conversion table in Appendix B to ensure the traceability of the test results.

Measurement uncertainty analysis

The measurement uncertainty evaluation of the average hardness value of the standard block includes the following steps:

  1. Mathematical model: Establish a conversion error model to determine the relationship between various influencing factors.
  2. Input quantity analysis: Evaluate the effects of the indication repeatability of the standard Rockwell hardness machine and the calibration results of the reference block on the final measurement uncertainty.
  3. Combined calculation: Use formula (A.2) to calculate the combined standard uncertainty, and determine the expanded uncertainty based on the coverage factor k=2.

Implementation suggestions

1. Choose a suitable hardness tester: According to the type and requirements of the test material, select a Webster hardness tester that meets the GB/T32660 series standard.

2. Regularly calibrate the equipment: According to the requirements of GB/T32660.2, regularly calibrate the hardness tester to ensure measurement accuracy.

3. Establish a quality management system: Develop procedures for the use, storage and maintenance of standard blocks to ensure long-term consistency of test results.
