BS EN ISO 14577-5:2026

This standard BS EN ISO 14577-5:2026 Metallic materials. Instrumented indentation test for hardness and materials parameters is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.040.10 Mechanical testing of metals

This document specifies the method of linear elastic dynamic instrumented indentation test for determination of indentation hardness and indentation modulus of materials showing elastic-plastic behaviour when oscillatory force or displacement is applied to the indenter while the load or displacement is held constant at a prescribed target value or while the indenter is continuously loaded to a prescribed target load or target depth.
