BS 131-6 is a British Standard for a precision Charpy V-notch impact test on metals, emphasizing tight control of test conditions for reference-quality results. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What BS 131-6 Covers
The method applies the Charpy V-notch impact test with additional control of the variables that affect scatter, aimed at high-precision or reference measurements. It sits within the BS 131 impact series.
Current Framework
For harmonized testing, the current reference is ISO 148-1 with machine verification to ISO 148-2. Precision requirements from BS 131-6 can be mapped onto these.
