Après suppression de la charge, elle laisse dans le métal une empreinte circulaire permanente dont on mesure le diamètre d, d'autant plus grand que la bille a pénétré plus profondément dans le métal, donc que celui-ci est moins dur [...] 1, record 6, French, - essai%20de%20duret%C3%A9%20Brinell

On mesure ensuite la distance (...) séparant les deux positions successives occupées par l'extrémité du pénétrateur.
