BS EN 59:2016EN 59:2016 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness of glass reinforced plastics materials by means of a Barcol hardness tester. The Barcol hardness tester is a portable device which can
17、 be used with a stand. This method is suitable for testing the indentation hardness of individual test specimens or finished products for production control purposes. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensabl

BS EN 59:2016EN 59:2016 (E) 7 5.2 Test specimen dimensions The thickness of the test specimens shall be at
28、 least 1,5 mm. The test area shall be sufficient to have a minimum distance of 3 mm from the test point to the edges of the test specimen or the previous test point in all directions. 6 Calibration 6.1 Direct calibration6.1.1 Indenter and presser foot All parameters of the indenter and the presser f
29、oot are calibrated according to the tolerances and uncertainties given in Table 1 with appropriate calibration devices for the measurement of the lengths and the angle. The Barcol hardness tester meets the requirements of this European Standard when the actual values match the target values within t
30、he measurement uncertainty. 6.1.2 Test force Perform the calibration of the test force by means of a force measuring device as a comparison measurement. In this case, the actual values of the nominal values listed in Table 2 are the Barcol hardness unit of the Barcol hardness tester while the force
31、measuring device is used as a reference standard. The Barcol hardness tester meets the requirements of this European Standard when the actual values match the target values within the measurement uncertainty.

35、eck the device by a measurement on a glass plate or a hardened steel plate so as to obtain a reading of 100 on the display. In addition the calibrated reference plates made of aluminium are used for verification. These reference plates shall be calibrated in a calibration laboratory. The deviation o
36、f a measurement on a reference plate is limited to a maximum of 2 Barcol units. The deviation of a measurement with the Barcol tester shall be maximum 1 Barcol unit. The deviation due to the reference plate and the deviation due to measurement with the Barcol tester are cumulative (so the overall de
37、viation is maximum 3 Barcol units). 7 Conditioning and testing atmospheres 7.1 Condition the test specimens before testing in the atmosphere specified in the relevant material specification. If no material specification exists, condition the test specimens in one of those specified in EN ISO 291. Fo
38、r testing in the standard atmosphere of (23 2) C/(50 2) % RH, a conditioning time of 16 h may be selected. 7.2 Carry out the test in one of the standard atmospheres specified in EN ISO 291, unless otherwise specified in the relevant material specification. When conditioning and testing in the specif
39、ied standard conditions is not possible, this shall be stated in the test report. 8 Procedure 8.1 Place the test specimen on a stable and hard surface that it cannot be bent or deformed under the pressure of the Barcol hardness tester. Curved surfaces can cause difficulties for placing the Barcol ha
40、rdness tester properly. While the pressure is applied, the deflection or jerking stress of the test specimen should be avoided. 8.2 Position the Barcol hardness tester with the feet or by using a test stand so that the presser foot is positioned straight above the specimen. BS EN 59:2016EN 59:2016 (
41、E) 9 The penetration of the indenter shall occur only when the indenter is perpendicular to the surface of the test specimen. In case of a small test specimen, it may be necessary to fit the Barcol hardness tester with one or two support feet so that the indenter can be positioned straight above the
42、 test specimen. Impressions should not be made within 3 mm of the edge of the specimen or of other impressions. 8.3 Apply by hand a large and quick force, preferably 80 N, on the top cover of the Barcol hardness tester while the highest number on the display unit is recorded, preferably within 1 s a
43、fter applying the force. The time period of 1 s starts as soon as the indenters movement exceeds 5 Barcol units. A slow fall in the reading on the indicating dial is sometimes noted for materials which are susceptible to creep. It is particularly important for such materials to record the highest in
44、stantaneous reading on the indicating dial. A sliding of the indenter on the test surface during the test shall be avoided. NOTE For materials which are subject to deformation and cannot be fully restored, fluctuations can occur on the display during the measurement In such cases, it is important to
45、 detect the maximum value on the display. An automatic registration of time and indentation depth at a sufficient data collection frequency with an analysis algorithm may be used to calculate the initial hardness value. Registration of time dependence indentation depth offers the possibility to anal
46、yse and quantify the creep effects. 9 Number of measurements Reinforced plastics materials are inherently heterogeneous and a large scatter of readings is observed. This is mainly caused by the differences in hardness between the resin and the reinforcement material in contact with the small diamete
47、r indenter. The number of measurements shall be such that the average result has a standard deviation of 4 % (at a 95 % probability level). 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a reference to this European Standard (i.e. EN 59); b) all details necessary for iden
48、tification of the material tested; c) a detailed description of the test specimen (5.2); d) conditioning and testing conditions (Clause 7); e) the number of measurements; f) the mean value of the indentation hardness rounded to the nearest whole integer; g) the date of testing.
