Test force
Verify applicable force values, application behavior and the loading system under the required method.
Traceability and machine confidence
Coordinate machine checks, force verification, indentation measurement calibration, reference blocks, repair and accredited service through Multitek’s equipment and calibration teams.
A system, not one number
The force can be correct while the optical reading is wrong—or the reference block can pass at one scale while another range needs service. A useful plan distinguishes each layer.
Verify applicable force values, application behavior and the loading system under the required method.
Confirm ball material, nominal diameter, identification, cleanliness, damage and applicable verification.
Calibrate the microscope or camera system so an indentation diameter is traceable at the used range.
Use certified reference blocks to evaluate combined machine performance at representative scales.
Direct and indirect verification
Direct verification evaluates machine components or functions such as force and measuring-system performance. Indirect verification uses standardized Brinell reference blocks to evaluate the machine’s result under defined conditions.
ASTM E10 and ISO 6506 divide machine verification and reference-block requirements into controlled provisions. The applicable service scope depends on the machine type, test scales, location and standard edition.
Service workflow
Confirm the machine, scales, method, location, certificate requirement and whether repair is needed before calibration.
Inspect the frame, loading system, anvil, indenter, controls, optics and operating condition. Calibration cannot correct a damaged mechanism.
Perform the agreed checks with suitable standards. Adjust or repair only through an approved process, then repeat affected verification.
Test appropriate certified blocks and scales to evaluate combined machine performance.
Issue the agreed report/certificate, record results and uncertainty as applicable, and identify limitations or recommended work.
Routine verification
Use a suitable certified block, clean test surface and correct scale. Avoid repeatedly crowding one area.
Confirm the microscope/camera calibration, focus, illumination and image scale remain valid.
Define what happens when a check fails: stop testing, identify affected work, investigate, adjust and reverify.
Frequency: follow the standard, accreditation, manufacturer and internal procedure. “Once per year” is not a universal substitute for routine verification.

FAQ
The applicable method addresses the force system, indenter, indentation measuring system and overall performance. The exact direct and indirect verification scope depends on the standard and machine.
No. A routine block check verifies system performance at selected conditions. Periodic calibration/verification addresses defined machine components and performance requirements under the applicable standard.
On-site service is available for suitable instruments and locations. Confirm machine size, scales, location, environmental conditions and the required accredited scope before scheduling.
Multitek Calibration provides accredited services within its approved scope. Confirm the requested Brinell scales, location and current scope before order placement.
