Comparison of Brinnel Methods E 10 & A 833
Comparison of Brinnel Methods E 10 & A 833
(OP)
I'm wondering how close one would expect results to be between portable Brinnel testing using a telebrinneller or equal, in accordance with A 833, and Brinnel testing in a stationary machine using a 3000 kg load?
I realize there's more variables in play with the portable test method, but, assuming it was carried out properly, in general what would you expect?

In our company when portable hardness testing is specified, it is for information only. I have seen comparable (+/- 10% variance) between field and bench hardness hardness test results, and I have seen questionable results that after reviewing the portable hardness technique there was a problem with component geometry or surface preparation.
