TABLE 1 Approximate Relationship Between Shore HFRS Scleroscope and Diamond Pyramid Hardness for Wrought Hardened Alloy
c
Steel Rolls
NOTE 1—This table is recommended for rolls over 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter. There is a tendency for rolls smaller than 6 in. in diameter with the
same Vickers hardness to show lower scleroscope readings.
NOTE 2— For scleroscope hardness determinations, the calibration to standard reference blocks, and the verification of instrument are a constant
necessity. See details recommended in Practice E 448.
NOTE 3—For Rockwell and Vickers hardness determinations, reference may be made to Test Method E 18 and E 92.
NOTE 4—For hardness conversion tables for metals, see Tables E 140.
