Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 6508-3 was prepared by the Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of
metals, Subcommittee SC 3, Hardness testing.
This first edition of ISO 6508-3 cancels and replaces ISO 674:1988 and ISO 1355:1989, of which it constitutes a
technical revision as follows:
 Combination of the two different International Standards for the calibration of the hardness reference blocks
(ISO 674:1988 and ISO 1355:1989) into this part of ISO 6508.
 Change of maximum permissible values of non-uniformity of the reference blocks in Table 2.
 Addition of clause 9 concerning the validity of the reference blocks.
 Addition of the hardmetal ball as indenter.
ISO 6508 consists of the following parts, under the general title Metallic materials — Rockwell hardness test:
 Part 1: Test method (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T)

Part 2: Verification and calibration of testing machines (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T)
 Part 3: Calibration of reference blocks (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T)
Annex A forms a normative part of this part of ISO 6508.

Introduction
The force values in this part of ISO 6508 were calculated from kilogram force values. They were introduced before
the SI-system was adopted. It was decided to keep the values based on the old units for this part of ISO 6508 but
for the next revision it will be necessary to consider the advantage of introducing rounded values of test force and
the consequence on the hardness scales.
Attention is drawn to the fact that in this part of ISO 6508, the use of hardmetal balls as indenters is equivalent to
the use of steel balls; however, it is indicated that the measurements made with the two ball types give different
results.

Part 3:
Calibration of reference blocks (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6508 specifies a method for the calibration of reference blocks to be used for the indirect
verification of Rockwell hardness testing machines (scales A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, N, T), as specified in
ISO 6508-2.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
part of ISO 6508. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not
apply. However, parties to agreements based on this part of ISO 6508 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of
applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest
edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid
International Standards.

3 Manufacture of reference blocks
3.1  The block shall be specially manufactured for use as a hardness reference block.
NOTE Attention is drawn to the need to use a manufacturing process which will give the necessary homogeneity, stability
of structure and uniformity of surface hardness.
3.2  Each metal block to be calibrated shall be of a thickness no less than 6 mm.
NOTE Reference blocks should have a thickness of 6 mm to 16 mm. To minimize the effect of hardness change with
increasing number of indents, a minimum thickness of 12 mm should be used.

blocks, if of steel, have been demagnetized
