     Press key to switch between hardness test and strength test. Only D and DC type of impact device has the function of strength testing. So hardness testing is the only selection if the impact device is not D or DC type. Press key to print out the measured values after measurement.
  • Page 10: Impact Device Selection

    3.2 Impact Device Selection Refer to Appendix Table 1 and Table 3 for selection of impact device. 3.3 Preparation of the Sample Surface Preparation for sample surface should conform to the relative requirement in Appendix Table 3.  In the preparation processing for sample surface, the hardness effect of being heated or cold processing on the surface of sample should be avoided.
