ICT is made up of information technology (storage tanks) and communications technology (pipes). Information (stored water) is stored using information technology (storage tanks) and a communication (flowing water) reaches the recipient through communications technology (pipes).
The Brinell hardness test is commonly used to determine the hardness of materials like metals and alloys. The test is achieved by applying a known load to the surface of the tested material through a hardened steel ball of known diameter. The diameter of the resulting permanent impression in the tested metal is measured and the Brinell Hardness Number is calculated as. BHN = 2 P / (Ï D (D - (D2 - d2)1/2)) (1). where.
The impression measurement and test load are used in the appropriate formula to calculate the Vickers hardness value. Like Brinell and Knoop, this method has one scale that covers its entire hardness range.
