GB/T 21838.1-2019 is the Chinese standard "Metallic materials -- Instrumented indentation test for hardness and materials parameters -- Part 1: Test method".
Its scope clause reads: This part of GB/T 21838 specifies the following three ranges of metal materials instrumented indentation test method for the determination of hardness and other materials Number method. --- Macro range.
2N <= F <= 30kN; ---Microscopic range. F < 2N, h> 0.2 µm; ---Nano range. h <= 0.2 µm. For the nanometer range, the mechanical deformation is heavily dependent on the actual shape of the tip of the indenter, and the function of the contact area of the indenter used in the testing machine will be severely affected.
The calculation of the material parameters. Therefore, in order to make the reproducibility of the material parameters measured by different instruments within an acceptable range, a careful calibrator is required, and indenter shape.
The macroscopic and microscopic ranges are distinguished by the magnitude of the test force relative to the depth of penetration. Note that the upper limit of the microscopic range is expressed by the test force (2N), and the lower limit is expressed by the penetration depth (0.2 µm).
See Appendix A for the determination of hardness and other material parameters. Carbide indenters are usually used in the macro range because the head is easily damaged when the contact pressure is high.
For detecting hardness values and elastic modulus For higher samples, the standard block can be used to detect the permanent deformation that can be generated by the indenter, and the permanent deformation of the indenter should be considered.
Impact. This section can also be applied to thin metallic and non-metallic coverings as well as non-metallic materials. In this case, it is advisable to refer to the relevant standards. (See 6.3 and ISO 14577-4). Its clauses include symbols and instructions.

1 Scope
This part of GB/T 21838 specifies the following three ranges of metal materials instrumented indentation test method for the determination of hardness and other materials
Number method.
--- Macro range. 2N <= F <= 30kN;
---Microscopic range. F < 2N, h> 0.2 µm;
---Nano range. h <= 0.2 µm.
For the nanometer range, the mechanical deformation is heavily dependent on the actual shape of the tip of the indenter, and the function of the contact area of the indenter used in the testing machine will be severely affected.
The calculation of the material parameters. Therefore, in order to make the reproducibility of the material parameters measured by different instruments within an acceptable range, a careful calibrator is required.
And indenter shape.
The macroscopic and microscopic ranges are distinguished by the magnitude of the test force relative to the depth of penetration.
Note that the upper limit of the microscopic range is expressed by the test force (2N), and the lower limit is expressed by the penetration depth (0.2 µm).
See Appendix A for the determination of hardness and other material parameters.
Carbide indenters are usually used in the macro range because the head is easily damaged when the contact pressure is high. For detecting hardness values and elastic modulus
For higher samples, the standard block can be used to detect the permanent deformation that can be generated by the indenter, and the permanent deformation of the indenter should be considered.
Impact.
This section can also be applied to thin metallic and non-metallic coverings as well as non-metallic materials. In this case, it is advisable to refer to the relevant standards.
