1 Procedure A yields the indentation(压痕） of the specimen remaining 15s after a given major load is released to a standard 10-kg minor load（初试验力） .Procedure B yields the indentation of the indenter（压头） into the specimen after a 15-s application of the major load（主试验力） while the load is still applied.

2 r and R are the 95% limits for a single sample for repeatability(重复性) and reproducibility（重现性）,respectively.

3 If Sr and SR have been calculated from a large enough body of data ,and for test results that were averages from testing two specimens,then:

4 Porcelain crucibles are available from catalogs such as Fisher.CEM quartz-fiber crucibles are available from CEM Corp.,Matthews,NC.

1.步骤A得到主试验力减小到10公斤的标准初试验力保持15秒后试件压痕。步骤B得到主试验力一直保持15秒后试件压痕。
2.r和R分别表示一次抽样样品的重复性和重现性的95%范围.
3. 假如Sr和SR已通过足够大的数值群体计算出来，则为了得到两件样件实验均值的实验结果，那么：
4.陶瓷坩埚可以从例如费希尔（公司的）商品目录中得到。柯劳恩石英纤维坩埚可以从北卡罗莱纳州马修斯市柯劳恩公司得到。
