ASTM C849 Test for Knoop Indentation Hardness of Ceramic Whitewares
ASTM C849 is used to determine the Knoop indentation hardness of ceramic whitewares, and it is used to verify Knoop indentation hardness testing machines using standard glasses.
Scope:
The Knoop indentation hardness is determined in ASTM C849 to characterize ceramic whitewares. Attempts have been made to determine tensile strength, grinding speeds, and other hardness scales using Knoop indentation hardness but to no avail. Such calculations are limited in scope and should be used with caution, except for special cases where a reliable basis for the conversion has been obtained by comparison tests.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM C849 testing, a pyramidal diamond point is pressed into the polished surface of the test sample with a known load, usually 100g, for a specified dwell time, and the dimension of the resulting indentation is measured using a microscope. The indenter leaves a tiny four-sided impression of about 0.01 to 0.1 mm in size. The length of the impression is approximately seven times the width, and the depth is 1/30 the length. Hence, after measuring only the length of the longest side, the area of the indentation can be calculated. The area of the indentation and the weight of the load are then used to calculate Knoop Indentation Hardness. The Knoop indentation hardness test can be used to test a wide variety of glasses, from television faceplates to polished plate glass. In general, the accuracy of the test will depend on the smoothness of the surface.

Specimen size:
For ASTM C849, the surface of the sample should be smooth and polished. The sample should be over ten times as thick as the indentation depth but not so thick as to affect the hardness of the glass. In general, if specimens are at least 0.10 mm thick, the hardness will not be affected by variations in the thickness.
Data:
Knoop indentation hardness (HK) and the Knoop hardness number (KHN) are reported in this ASTM C849 test.
Conclusion:
The Knoop indentation hardness is determined in ASTM C849 to characterize ceramic whitewares.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
