This part of ISO 6507 specifies a method for the calibration of reference blocks to be used for theindirect verification of Vickers hardness testing machines, as specified in ISO 6507-2.The method is applicable only for indentations with diagonals >= 0,020 mm.The force values in this part of ISO 6507 were calculated from kilogram force values. They wereintroduced before the SI-system was adopted. It was decided to keep the values based on the oldunits for this edition, but for the next revision it will be necessary to consider the advantage ofintroducing rounded values of test force and the consequence on the hardness scales.
