Calibration Of Vickers Hardness Test PT.Tenaris Seamless Pipe Indonesia Jaya Cilegon Using Standar Blok

Abstract

A calibration is an activity to determine the conventional validity of the appointment value of measuring instruments and measuring materials by comparing them to standard measurements that are traceable to national and international standards for measurement units and or international and certified reference materials. The calibration is generally a process of adjusting the output or indication of a measurement device to match the magnitude of the standard used in certain accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to find out the vickers hardness test calibration whether the machine running normally or there is a problem with the device. A case study was conducted in PT. Tenaris SPIJ, Cilegon, Indonesia. A vickers hardness testing in the case study has its own reference standard, namely ISO 6507-2: 2018 Metal material - Hardness Test Verification and Calibration of the test machine. The vickers hardness test equipment is a machine to conduct tests using a diamond pyramid with a plane angle of 136°, by means of an emphasis by an indentor that results in a trace or indentation on the surface of the test object. The vickers hardness testing is abbreviated as HV or HVN and also known as Diamond Pyramid Hardness Test (DPH). Result of calibration in the case study was found the repeatability value on vickers hardness testing machine of 32 HV 10 and the error value of ±3%.

Effect of Spindle Speed of Bar-Plate Rotary Friction Welding Machine on Joint Interface Area and Hardness Value

“…This hardness test is carried out to determine the value of a test material that has been welded. The hardness test method in this study is the Vickers hardness method [17]. Where the Vickers hardness method uses a diamond pyramid indenter which has a plane angle of opposite (136°), emphasizing the surface of the part to be measured with a loading of 60 kgf, with a distance between test points of 3 mm so as to produce traces that can be measured by an optical microscope lens.…”

Calibration of Dial Indicator Using Calibration Tester with JIS B 7503 Standard

“…The calibration is an activity to do periodically by comparing standard quantities between measuring instruments and tester that is in accordance with the measuring instrument [9]. In the implementation of calibration, there is often an uneven coverage value, which is called the uncertainty value [1].…”
