Ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) hardness testing meters are well suited to mobile hardness testing and are relied upon to obtain fast and precise measurements with minimal damage to the object being tested.
We stock Sauter's HO mobile ultrasonic meter which utilises a Vickers diamond tip, which is then pressed into the sample with a pre-defined force. From here the tip moves into high frequency ultrasonic vibrations and the hardness of the sample can be determined from the attenuation.
The HO is primarily used for measuring small forgings, castings, welding points, punched parts, casting tools, ball bearings and the flanks of gear wheels as well as for measuring the influence of warmth or heat on a sample.
