DIN EN ISO 13383-2:2016-08

This part of ISO 13383 specifies a manual method of making measurements for the determination of the volume fraction of major phases in fine ceramics using micrographs of polished and etched sections, overlaying a square grid of lines, and counting the number of intersections lying over each phase. Some users of this part of ISO 13383 may wish to apply automatic or semiautomatic image analysis to micrographs or directly captured microstructural images. This is currently outside the scope of this part, but some guidelines are given in Annex A. The text of ISO 13383-2:2012 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 206 "Fine ceramics" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted as EN ISO 13383-2:2016 by CEN/TC 184 "Advanced technical ceramics", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-02-91 AA "Terminologie von Hochleistungskeramik und Prüfung von monolithischen keramischen Werkstoffen und Pulvern" ("Terminology associated with advanced technical ceramics and testing of monolithic ceramics and powders") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
