ASTM C886 – Standard Test Method for Scleroscope Hardness Testing of Carbon and Graphite Materials
Description:
Significance and Use
5.1 The scleroscope is a rebound hardness tester with a scale divided into 140 equal parts. For carbon and graphite materials, there is no established correlation between the Scleroscope hardness scale and other hardness scales. The test is useful in the evaluation and the manufacturing control of carbon and graphite materials.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the apparatus and procedure for determining the hardness of carbon and graphite materials using the Model C-2 scleroscope2 with the hammer calibrated for use on carbon and graphite materials with particles smaller than 0.8 mm.3
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
