BRIEF HISTORY RELATING TO THE 2nd EDITION
Work on the revision of IS0 Recommendation R 192-1961 began in 1966 and led to the adoption of Draft
IS0 Recommendation No. 2086. In July 1970. this Draft IS0 Recommendation was submitted to all IS0 Member
Bodies for enquiry. it was approved, subject to a few modifications of an editorial nature, by the following Member
Bodies :
Belgium Iran
Romania
Canada I re 1 and
South Africa, Rep. of
Czechoslovakia Israel Spain
Denmark Japan Sweden
Finland
Korea, Rep. of Switzerland
France
Net herlands Thailand
Ger many New Zealand
U.A.R.
Greece Norway
United Kingdom
Hungary Poland
U.S.A.
India Portugal U.S.S.R.
No Member Body opposed the approval of the Draft
This Draft IS0 Recommendation was then submitted by correspondence to the IS0 Council, which decided
to accept it as the second edition of IS0 Recommendation R 192. The title of that Recommendation has been
modified to read as follows Light metals and îheir alloys - Vickers hardness test (Test loads from 1 to 1 O0 kgf).
This edition (second edition) supersedes the first edition of IS0 Recommendation R 192-1961

LIGHT METALS AND THEIR ALLOYS
VICKERS HARDNESS TEST
(TEST LOADS FROM 1 TO 100 kgf)
1. SCOPE
This IS0 Recommendation describes the Vickers hardness testing of light metals and their alloys with test loads
from 1 to 100 kgf.
2. PRINCIPLE
The test consists in forcing an indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and specified angie
a between opposite faces at the vertex, under a load F, into the metal, and measuring the diagonal d of the
indentation left in the surface after removal of the load.
The Vickers hardness, HV, is the quotient obtained by dividing the test load F (expressed in kilogrammes-force)
by the sloping area (expressed in square millimetres) of the indentation, considered as a right pyramid with a square
base, of diagonal d, and having at the vertex the same angle as the indenter.
3. SYMBOLS AND DESIGNATIONS

NOTE. ~ The symbol HV is supplemented by an index indicating the load and a further index indicating the duration of loading,
when the latter differs from 10 to 15 seconds, which is the normal time of application.
Examples
HVlO = Vickers hardness, measured under a load of 10 kgf, applied for 10 to 15 seconds,
= Vickers hardness, measured under a load of 10 kgf, applied for 20 seconds.
