Ultrasonic Portable Hardness Tester - UCI-3000

Advanced Ultrasonic Hardness Tester UCI 3000 applies ultrasonic contact impedance method to do comparative hardness measurement for testing pieces, with the high accuracy, efficiency, portability, and easy operation. UCI 3000 is a high-precision portable device for quick measuring hardness of small fogging, cast material, weld inspection, heat affected zone, Ion-nitride stamping dies and molds, forms, presses, thin-walled parts, bearings, tooth flanks, etc. It is used for measuring the hardness within the ranges of main hardness scales – HB, HRC as well as HV.

The device has a “plug and measure” interactive interface, programming functions and additional scales for the provided non-standard. This hardness tester is optimal for field, workshop or laboratory conditions.

Ultrasonic Hardness Tester is widely used to measure hardness of flange edges and gear root of stamping parts, molds, sheets, hardening surface of the tooth and gear and taper part hardness, hardness of the shaft, pipe including inside and outside wall, container, wheel, turbine rotor, bit blade, HAZ weld, printing roller, injection molding machine screw parts etc.

Our customer McDermott will be using our device on many of there piping systems in there refineries and powerplants to determine the hardness values of all types of metal materials.

Companies use several different methods for hardness testing, the most common being Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Leeb. However, there are disadvantages to each method: for Rockwell and Brinell, testing may lead to damage on the surface of a sample; for Vickers, only professional technicians are able to carry out tests smoothly; and for Leebs, the testing method is indirect, which may lead to a large deviation when converted to other scales.

To improve upon these methods, Qualitest’s Ultrasonic Hardness Tester, the UCI-3000, applies an ultrasonic contact impedance method to perform comparative hardness measurements on material samples, which allows for high accuracy and efficient results. With increased portability and easier operation, our Ultrasonic Hardness Tester can be used by non-professionals to measure the hardness of a wide variety of materials and products with perfect accuracy, including small forgings, cast materials, welds, heat-affected zones, ion-nitrided stamping dies and molds, thin walled parts, bearings, tooth flanks, and more.

The UCI-3000 comes equipped with mass storage capabilities, simple calibration, a large LCD display, and quick measurement techniques that can be carried out in less than 2 seconds.
