1.1本规程涵盖了金属材料的快速压痕硬度测试程序。 1.2本规程包括附录A1中关于快速压痕硬度试验机直接、间接和日常验证的附加要求。 1.3以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.4 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。 ====意义和用途====== 当需要在大量样品上快速进行布氏硬度试验时，如在检查热量输出时，使用本规程- 处理炉。 本规程要求测量压痕深度，并且无需根据布氏硬度试验的要求以光学方式测量压痕直径。 本规程不是标准布氏硬度试验方法，不符合试验方法的要求 E10 . 4.4由于快速压痕硬度测试设备制造商之间的测试力和深度测量显示方法不同，因此不同制造商设备的测试结果不具有可比性。

1.1 This practice covers a procedure for rapid indentation hardness testing of metallic materials. 1.2 This practice includes additional requirements in Annex A1 for the direct, indirect, and daily verification of rapid indentation hardness testing machines. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 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. ====== Significance And Use ====== This practice is used when it is desired to make Brinell type hardness tests very rapidly on a high volume of samples, as in the inspection of the output of a heat-treating furnace. This practice requires the measurement of indentation depth and eliminates the need to measure the diameter of the indent optically as required in a Brinell hardness test. This practice is not a standard Brinell hardness test method and does not meet the requirements of Test Method E10 . 4.4 Since the test forces and method of display of the depth measurement differ between manufacturers of rapid indentation hardness testing equipment, the test results from equipment from different manufacturers are not comparable.
