3 Manufacture of Reference Blocks
3.1 Reference blocks shall be manufactured specially. It shall pay much attention to the manufacturing process of reference blocks so as to make them obtain the material homogeneity, structure stability as well as hardness uniformity of tested surface.
3.2 See Table 1 for geometric dimensions and technical requirements of reference blocks.
