Chavez Calibrations is a Hispanic-woman owned small business. We have been in business since
2003. We have extensive experience in evaluating the indirect verification test.
CCI has adopted procedures that will make your ASTM indirect verification test easier and less
expensive
for domestic and international customers.
After the specimens are broken you may email digital pictures of the brinelling marks on the paired up
specimens to CCI. We do not need to evaluate the fracture surfaces. We will only request the broken
specimens if the digital pictures are not clear. This procedure will save you the time and cost of
returning
specimens.
International customers may realize a cost savings in customs duties. CCI uses the cost of the
specimens as the customs value and does not include the administrative costs.

ASTM Standard E23, paragraph A2.1.2 has been changed to allow the removal and replacement of a
striker and/or anvils that were on the machine when a successful indirect verification test was
performed
without requiring a new indirect verification test. In the past removing and replacing these machine
parts
invalidated the verification. The change allows low energy calibration specimens to be tested before
the
parts are removed and after the parts are reinstalled on the machine. The calibration specimens must
produce results similar to typical low energy verification specimens. This change allows a machine to
be used as a Charpy machine with a valid indirect verification, changed to produce Izod testing or 2
mm
ISO testing, and again returned to the Charpy mode to continue Charpy testing. Please refer to ASTM
Standard , paragraph A2.1.2 for complete rules regarding this change. You may contact CCI for
clarification or low energy specimens.
