    4 Preparation & Testing 4.1 Preparation & Inspection before Testing 4.1.1Preparation of Sample Surface Preparation for sample surface should conform to the relative requirement in the 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.
  • Page 10: 3Presetting Testing Condition

    4.1.3Presetting Testing condition See 6.5 for details. 4.2 Testing Program Verification of the tester is by using standard test block. The error and repeatability of displayed value should be within the regulation of Appendix table 2. Note: Use a calibrated hardness tester, test the standard test block downward vertically for 5 times, the arithmetical average value compare with the value of standard test block.

    contrastive test is needed to get conversion relations for the special material. Use inspection qualified Leeb hardness tester and corresponding hardness tester to test at the same sample respectively. For each hardness value, each measure homogeneously 5 points of Leeb hardness value in the surrounding of more than three indentations which need conversion hardness, using Leeb hardness arithmetic average value and corresponding hardness average value as correlative value respectively, make individual hardness contrastive curve.

    5 Advice  Replacing the impact device must be done during Power off. Otherwise the main body can not identify the type of the impact device, and it can damage the circuit board of the main body.  You could not save the current test value if the test times are less than the presetting times value.
