This part of GB/T 231 specifies the inspection and calibration methods for the Brinell hardness tester (hereinafter referred to as the hardness tester) used to determine the Brinell hardness according to the requirements of GB/T 231.1. This part specifies the direct test method for checking the basic functions of the hardness tester and the indirect test method suitable for checking the comprehensive performance of the hardness tester. If the hardness tester is also used for hardness tests by other methods, it shall be inspected according to the respective methods. This section also applies to portable hardness testers, but the term "change of location" in the requirements of 6.1a) does not apply.
