Essai Rockwell.-Le pénétrateur est soit une bille, soit un cône de diamant(...) On mesure non pas la surface d’empreinte mais sa profondeur. Afin d’obtenir une surface de référence à partir de laquelle sera mesurée la pénétration du poinçon, on soumet celui-ci à une précharge faible(...) puis à une seconde charge(...) On mesure ensuite la distance(...) séparant les deux positions successives occupées par l'extrémité du pénétrateur. L'utilisation de la précharge permet d’éliminer les erreurs dues aux irrégularités de l'état de surface du métal. 1, record 5, French, - essai%20Rockwell
