AS 1815.2-2002

Specifies a method of verification of testing machines for determining Rockwell hardness scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 6508-2:1999.

This part of ISO 6508 specifies a method of verification of testing machines for determining Rockwell hardness (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T).It specifies a direct method for checking the main functions of the machine and an indirect method suitable for the overall checking of the machine. The indirect method may be used on its own for periodic routine checking of the machine in service.If a testing machine is also to be used for other methods of hardness testing, it shall be verified independently for each method.This part of ISO 6508 is applicable to portable hardness testing machines with the exception of requirements in 6.1 a) in which the word relocation does not apply.
