JIS Z 2243 — Brinell Hardness Test (HBW) for Metallic Materials

JIS Z 2243 · JIS standard

JIS Z 2243 specifies a Brinell hardness test method for metallic materials, applicable to both stationary and portable (mobile) Brinell hardness testers. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What JIS Z 2243 Covers

The standard defines the Brinell test in the JIS system, including its use on portable testers for large parts that cannot be brought to a bench machine. A ball indenter is pressed into the surface and the indentation is measured to give the hardness number.

Reading the Designation

Cited as JIS Z 2243 with its part and year. Confirm the edition and the force and ball combination.

Stationary and Portable Testing

Bench machines give the most controlled result, while portable testers extend Brinell testing to in-place inspection of large castings, forgings, and structures. The method addresses both so results stay comparable.

Why Machine Verification Matters

Accurate force and indentation measurement are essential; verification to a standard such as GB/T 231.2 keeps Brinell results traceable.
