Abstract

This document reports the results of the third Charpy Interlaboratory Comparison between NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado, USA) and ATMS (Anand Testing Machine Services LLP, Kabnur, India). The first and second comparisons were run in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Each laboratory tested Charpy reference specimens that were certified and produced at different energy levels by the two institutions. Test results obtained at NIST and ATMS were compared using the same machine configuration (C-type hammer) and striker type (2 mm), and statistical methods (unpaired two-sample t-test) were employed to assess the significance of interlaboratory differences.
