foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents"
drafted.
This document is part 4 of GB/T 4340 "Vickers Hardness Test for Metallic Materials". GB/T 4340 has published the following parts.
--- Part 1.Test methods;
--- Part 2.Inspection and calibration of hardness testers;
--- Part 3.Calibration of standard hardness blocks;
--- Part 4.Table of hardness values.
This document replaces GB/T 4340.4-2009 "Vickers Hardness Test for Metal Materials Part 4.Table of Hardness Values", and
Compared with GB/T 4340.4-2009, in addition to structural adjustment and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
--- Added the statement of the calculation method of Vickers hardness value (see Chapter 4);
--- Delete the Vickers hardness value with an average indentation diameter greater than 1.400mm (see Table 3 of the.2009 edition).
This document is equivalent to ISO 6507-4.2018 "Vickers Hardness Test for Metal Materials Part 4.Table of Hardness Values".

Introduction
GB/T 4340 "Vickers Hardness Test for Metal Materials" aims to standardize the Vickers hardness test method of metal materials, the inspection and calibration of hardness testers
Standard, standard hardness block calibration and hardness value and so on.
GB/T 4340 consists of four parts.
--- Part 1.Test methods;
--- Part 2.Inspection and calibration of hardness testers;
--- Part 3.Calibration of standard hardness blocks;
--- Part 4.Table of hardness values.
This document provides indentation diagonals below 1.961N, between 1.961N~29.42N and between 49.03N~980.7N
The comparison table of length and corresponding Vickers hardness value is convenient for standard users to consult and use.
