ASTM E92 is a “Standard Test Method for Vickers Hardness of Metallic Materials” established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International.

This test method covers the determination of the Vickers hardness of metallic materials using a microindentation hardness testing machine. Vickers hardness is a measure of a material’s resistance to indentation and is typically used for harder materials or when the test sample is thin.

In ASTM E92, the Vickers hardness is determined by measuring the diagonal lengths of the indentation left by a pyramidal diamond indenter. The hardness value is calculated based on the applied force and the surface area of the indentation.

Our Micro & Macro Vickers and Knoop Hardness Testers comply with ASTM E92.
