Hardness testing device according to the Ultrasonic-Contact-Impedance method with external testing probes

HardyTest UCI3000

The hardness tester HardyTestUCI 3000 operates according to the UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) method, in which an equilateral diamond pyramid with an opening angle of 136° (Vickers diamond) is pressed into the workpiece under a specified test force to create a concave pyramid impression. The contact area of the impression is measured to calculate an HV hardness value.
This measuring instrument meets all the requirements of professional users in hardness testing. With various probe types with 10, 50, or 100N (Newton) test force, a wide measuring range, and high precision, it is suitable for a variety of applications.

Properties

Hardness testing on all ferromagnetic materials and alloys (with limitations)
Measurements of hardness of layers starting from 30 microns!
very good reproducibility
well suited for mass testing of workpieces
can also be used in hard-to-reach areas
all test directions without entering correction values
Memory for 12,900 measurement values, dividable into 100 blocks
Evaluation and processing of stored measurement results
Data transfer to PC
automatic shutdown for energy saving

Applications

Hardness testing of fine-grained materials and alloys, nitrided, case-hardened, and high-frequency hardened parts, as well as chrome-plated parts in various industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, equipment, automotive, and mechanical engineering, quality control, and steel industry.
