Verification and Calibration of Instrumented Indentation Testing Machines

Article Preview

Abstract:

The frame compliance is calibrated by experimental and calculation methods for an instrumented indentation equipment. The indentation depth and contact diameter with single cycle test is determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy directly. The alternative method is to calculate the contact depth and the contact radius from the load-depth curves. The observed and calculated frame compliances are obtained respectively according to EN ISO 14577-4 Annex Methods 2.
