It determines hardness through the scale of penetration of an indenter, loaded on a material test-piece. It is one of several definitions of hardness in materials science. The hardness scale is expressed as the Brinell Hardness Number (BHN or BH) and was named for Johan August Brinell, who developed the method in the early 20th century.
Vickers hardness numbers are reported as xxxHVyy, e.g. 440HV30, or xxxHVyy/zz if duration of force differs from 10 s to 15 s, e.g. 440HV30/20, where: 440 is the hardness number, HV names the hardness scale (Vickers), 30 indicates the load used in kgf. 20 indicates the loading time if it differs from 10 s to 15 s
A common use of Janka hardness ratings is to determine whether a species is suitable for use as flooring. For hardwood flooring, the test usually requires an 80 mm × 150 mm (3 in × 6 in) sample with a thickness of at least 6–8 mm, and the most commonly used test is the ASTM D1037.
There are several scales of durometer, used for materials with different properties. The two most common scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales. The A scale is for softer ones, while the D scale is for harder ones. The image of Bareiss digital durometer is shown in the photo.
This use is consistent when the related deviation c between two successive values k n and k n+1 is constant, thus (k n+1 − k n) / k n = c or k n+1 = (c + 1) k n or k n+1 = (c+1) n k 0. This is the principle of the geometric series known as the Renard Series (named after Colonel Renard who was the first to use them in calculating the diameter ...
Larger scale test markets are used to give additional assurance of performance and acceptability for a new or revised packaged-product. Feedback is carefully obtained and evaluated. Feedback on package performance continues when full production and distribution have been achieved.
It is calibrated to deliver accurately a fixed volume of liquid. These pipettes have a large bulb with a long narrow portion above with a single graduation mark as it is calibrated for a single volume (like a volumetric flask). Typical volumes are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 mL.
The Mogden formula calculates cost as a combination (empirical coefficients) of volume, strength in terms of normal treatment oxidation demand and the suspended solids proportion. [1] Applicable to the whole works, it also approximates the cost for tested industrial waste water that may, if treatable, be lawfully sent to a regular sewage works.
