6  Measuring 

 

6.1  Specimen 

 

1.  The surface of the specimen shall be flat and parallel over an area to permit the presser foot to 

contact the specimen over an area having a radius of at least 6 mm from the indenter point. 

 

2.  The Specimen shall be suitably supported to provide for positioning and stability. 

 

3.  The specimen shall be at least 6 mm in thickness unless it is known that results equivalent to the 

6 mm values are obtained with thinner specimen. 

 
The lateral dimensions of the  specimen shall be sufficient to permit measurements at least 12 mm from 
any edge. 
 

6.2  Measure 

 

1.  To  press  the  indenter  on  the  surface  of  specimen  and  make  sure  the  presser  foot  is  contact 

closely to it. 

 

2.  When  data  is  stable,  the  buzzer  will  make  a  sound  and  the  value  will  be  shown  until  the  next 

measuring. 

 

Test mode: maximum average value mode 
Hardness value measured: 58,1 H 
Current statistic times: 5 
The measured number: 2
