Abstract:
The NanoTest is an instrumented (nano)indentation system supplied by Micro Materials Ltd., Wrexham, U.K. This has report describes the procedures used for both static and dynamic calibrations of the NanoTest at NPL.Static calibrations for force, displacement, indenter area function, frame compliance are described. Dynamic calibrations for effective pendulum mass, damping coefficient and dynamic compliance are discussed.This document describes current best practice, an updated version will be produced on completion of this project.
