The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) performs Vickers hardness and Knoop hardness testing in accordance with ASTM E92 testing standards. Hardness tests reveal pertinent information about a material’s ability to withstand permanent deformation when exposed to specific conditions. Our ASTM-complaint mechanical testing lab supports our clients as they confirm their product’s suitability for specific tasks and conditions.
Understanding ASTM E92 Testing and Its Importance
The American Society for Testing and Materials developed the ASTM E92 as an outline for those using the Vickers and Knoop hardness tests to assess a material’s hardness. During the procedure, technicians subject a metallic sample to a specified load before measuring the size of the indention or deformation created by the indenter. The standard’s objective is to ensure that a metal’s hardness is consistently reliable. This testing standard is especially effective when testing products used in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries.
Our ASTM E92
Our metallurgy analysis lab offers ASTM-compliant hardness testing services that assess the physical properties of metal samples Our team of highly skilled and educated specialists use our state-of-the-art lab to subject materials to rigorous standards that confirm their suitability for specific applications.
In addition to our ASTM E92-compliant testing, we offer Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, and Vickers hardness tests compliant with various standards, such as:
- ASTM A370
- ASTM A956
- ASTM E10
- ASTM E18
- ASTM E92
- ASTM E384
Our lab’s services support quality control, failure analysis, and material development strategies.
Why is Complying with ASTM E92 Important?
Compliance with the ASTM E92 standard is important for maintaining quality and safety across various applications. This standard ensures that hardness test results are consistent, comparable, uniform, and easily understood across different. Adherence to the ASTM E92 standard demonstrates a commitment to quality control and a focus on reducing the costs and hazardous risks associated with poor material selection processes.
