UNDERSTAND
Understand the Requirement
The project-specific
requirement that targets for verification of material hardness of the test-job
against the respective material hardness specification.
02
INSPECT
Inspect with Purpose
A portable or bench
hardness tester applies a calibrated indenter load to the test component or
test coupon.
03
ANALYSE
Analyse the Findings
Measured hardness values
are converted to the required scale and compared against the specified
acceptance range.
04
REPORT
Report for Action
A hardness-testing report with
list of measured values, locations, and pass/fail status against the project-specific
criteria is issued.
