NEW NIST PRACTICE GUIDE ON ROCKWELL HARDNESS TESTING AVAILABLE The NIST Recommended Practice Guide: Rockwell Hardness Measurement of Metallic Materials

WANTED: MEASUREMENTS WITH GOOD REFERENCES In nearly all types of activities-be they related to manufacturing, finance, health, regulatory affairs or even sports-people and organizations are becoming sticklers for measurement uncertainty. NIST, the nation’s measurement authority, has responded to this growing customer need for demonstrable uncertainty. It has created an on-line resource— www.nis...

Capability in Rockwell C Scale Hardness

A measurement system is capable if it produces measurements with uncertainties small enough for demonstration of compliance with product specifications. To establish the capability of a system for Rock-well C scale hardness, one must assess measurement uncertainty and, when hardness is only an indicator, quantify the relation between hardness and the product property of real interest. The uncer...

Annealing of Co-Cr dental alloy: effects on nanostructure and Rockwell hardness

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of annealing on the nanostructure and hardness of Co-Cr metal ceramic samples that were fabricated with a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five groups of Co-Cr dental alloy samples were manufactured in a rectangular form measuring 4 × 2 × 2 mm. Samples fabricated by a conventional casting technique (Gr...

the relationship between eq, iq and test format: a study on test fairness

the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iq, eq and test format in the light of test fairness considerations. this study took this relationship into account to see if people with different eq and iq performed differently on different test formats. to this end, 90 advanced learners of english form college of ferdowsi university of mashhad were chosen. they were ask...
