Introduction

GB/T 5586-2016 Standard Core Interpretation

Test Items Measurement Principle Instrument Requirements Key Formulas
Density Measurement Archimedes’ Principle, Calculate the Volume of an Object by the Buoyancy of a Liquid. Precision Balance, Pycnometer, Thermometer, etc. ρ = m₀ - (m₂ - m₃) × D₀
Hardness Test Brinell and Vickers Hardness, Calculate the Hardness of a Material by Indentation. Brinell hardness tester, Vickers hardness tester and special indenter. HBW = 0.102 × F / (π D (D - d²))
Volume resistivity measurement Double-arm bridge method, calculated by current-voltage relationship. High-precision double-arm bridge, standard resistor, etc. ρ = A × Rx / L

Standard Formulation Background and Technology Evolution Analysis

GB/T 5586-2016 replaced the original GB/T 5586-1998. The main changes include:

  • Updated the calculation formulas for Brinell hardness and Vickers hardness.
  • Standardized the use and expression of hardness testers.
  • Added temperature control requirements for resistivity and conductivity.
  • Added new test methods for tensile strength and elongation after fracture.

Standard Framework Comparison Table

Chapter GB/T 5586-1998 GB/T 5586-2016 Main changes
Hardness test Only includes Brinell hardness. Added Vickers hardness and modified the calculation formula. Added the test method and expression of Vickers hardness.
Resistivity measurement No clear requirements. Added temperature control requirements and refined the test process. Added environmental temperature control clauses.
Tensile test No relevant content is included. New tensile strength and elongation test methods are added. The mechanical properties test system has been improved.

Standard implementation suggestions

In actual applications, companies should:

  • Equip with measuring instruments that meet the accuracy requirements.
  • Test strictly in accordance with standard operating procedures.
  • Establish a complete test data recording and analysis system.
  • Regularly calibrate equipment to ensure measurement accuracy.
