BALL STANDARDS
Precision balls are widely used in different applications, like bearings, ball valves, pumps, measuring instruments, guidance systems, hydraulics, but also for grinding and polishing, or for applications un the gas and oil industry. To ensure that the balls meet the correct specifications and performance, several international standards have been established.
Hardness
Hardness of chrome steel and stainless steel
In technology it is important to know and understand materials. One of the most important properties of materials is their hardness. We discuss the hardness of two commonly used materials, chrome steel and stainless steel.
Weights
The term “weight” is used to indicate the force with which an object presses on a surface This can be affected by several factors, such as the shape, size and material of the object. In this technical document we will discuss the weightsof steel, stainless steel, ceramic materials and plastics, along with their densities. You will then find a downloadable table with the weights per diameter, as well as a conversion table for the different materials.
