1.1本试验方法包括使用1 kgf至120 kgf的作用力测定金属材料的维氏硬度、维氏硬度试验机的验证（B部分）和标准硬度试块的校准（C部分）。标准测试分为两大类: 1.1.1 验证、实验室或仲裁测试 ，其中需要高精度。 1.1.2 常规测试 ，其中允许较低的精度。 1.2 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the Vickers hardness of metallic materials, using applied forces of 1 kgf to 120 kgf, the verification of Vickers hardness testing machines (Part B), and the calibration of standardized hardness test blocks (Part C). Two general classes of standard tests are recognized: 1.1.1 Verification, Laboratory, or Referee Tests , where a high degree of accuracy is required. 1.1.2 Routine Tests , where a somewhat lower degree of accuracy is permissible. 1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
