8.1.3 Nomenclature
When quoting a Brinell hardness number (BHN or more commonly HB), the conditions of the
test used to obtain the number must be specified. The standard format for specifying tests can
be seen in the example "HBW 10/3000".
HBW - tungsten carbide ball indenter
HB or HBS - hardened steel ball.
10 is the ball diameter in millimeters.
3000 is the force in kilograms force.
The hardness may also be shown as XXX HB YYD2. The XXX is the force to apply (in kgf) on a
material of type YY (5 for aluminum alloys, 10 for copper alloys, 30 for steels). Thus a typical
steel hardness could be written: 250 HB 30D2.
8.1.4 Multiple Scales of test load are available for this tester, and they shall be properly
selected as the nominal values specified below.
