SiB testblock
The hardness reference block
"Made in Germany"
Hardness reference blocks are used for annual indirect calibration and periodic daily testing of hardness testers. The functional reliability of hardness testers and their traceability to the hardness standard can only be ensured with high-quality hardness reference blocks.
The synergy between the use of optimised, homogeneous steel, decades of experience in heat treatment and the CNC machining of hardness reference blocks provides you with a first-class product "Made in Germany" that meets the requirements for the following tests:
- DIN EN ISO 6506 / ASTM E10
(Metallic materials; hardness test according to Brinell) - DIN EN ISO 6508 / ASTM E18
(Metallic materials; hardness test according to Rockwell) - DIN EN ISO 6507 / ASTM E92
(Metallic materials; hardness test according to Vickers)
Independent Calibration
Manufacturer-independent calibration by DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 accredited testing laboratories ensures a high level of quality assurance for the hardness reference blocks.
Colour and symbol assignment
If you have to keep many different test panels, it is easy to lose track. Thanks to the colour and symbol assignment on each individual SiB test block packaging, you can find the right test plate straight away.
