6、 Summary of Test Method3.1 The specimen is held in position, and the height ofrebound of a diamond-tipped hammer is observed and recordedas the hardness number.4. Significance and Use4.1 The scleroscope is a rebound hardness tester with a scaledivided into 140 equal parts. For carbon and graphite ma

7、terials,there is no established correlation between the Scleroscopehardness scale and other hardness scales. The test is useful inthe evaluation and the manufacturing control of carbon andgraphite materials.5. Interferences5.1 Lack of alignment of the instrument, as specified inSection 10, will caus

8、e low readings.5.2 The specimen must be held firmly in position and musthave adequate support from the anvil on which the samplerests. Neglect of alignment, positioning, or support will resultin low readings.5.3 Rough surface finish, above 3175-nm (125-in.) AA,may cause low readings.5.4 Indentations

9、 that are superimposed or spaced too closelytogether (approximately 3 mm (18 in.) will cause incorrectreadings.6. Apparatus6.1 Table, or equivalent, firm, for support.6.2 Scleroscope, Model C-2, equipped with a hammercalibrated by the manufacturer for use on carbon and graphitematerials.7. Test Spec

10、imen7.1 The specimen may be of any convenient size, but testsurfaces smaller than 5 by 5 mm (0.2 by 0.2 in.) are notrecommended.7.2 The recommended specimen shall have a minimumthickness of 5 mm (0.2 in.).1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubr

For all specimens, thetest surfaces must be maintained normal to the axis of thescleroscope tube.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Check the calibration

16、of the Scleroscope with carbontest blocks obtained from the instrument manufacturer.8.2 Make a series of tests on carbon test blocks that coverthe range of hardness to be tested.8.3 Make at least five tests on each carbon test block. Do notmake any tests closer than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the sides of

17、 thetest blocks.8.4 Consider the instrument calibrated if 90 % of the read-ings deviate no more than 64%,or63 points, whichever islarger, from the mean of the hardness numbers stamped on thecarbon test blocks.9. Conditioning9.1 Allow the specimen to reach equilibrium with roomtemperature air, and te
