Rockwell hardness tester PCE-3000ULS

The hardness tester can be used to quickly check the hardness of components even when they are installed. The hardness tester impresses with its large measuring range, easy handling, robust design and temperature resistance down to -20°C. In addition to the hardness in Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers, the hardness tester can also be used to determine the tensile strength of steels up to 1740 MPa. The hardness tester has a manual test probe with a test force of 50N as standard, with this probe it is possible to measure from all directions in space without a correction factor. Another advantage of the hardness tester is its NDT feature. At the tip of the probe there is a Vickers diamond which is excited in the ultrasonic frequency range. If the diamond touches the test piece surface during the hardness test, the vibration is damped. The resulting frequency shift is directly related to the surface hardness of the test piece. Due to the low test forces, the penetration depths of the diamond are very small, which is why only an almost invisible impression remains. The hardness tester is therefore used for checking small thin-walled components, for surface-hardened test specimens or for nitrided components. The hardness tester has also proven itself in the measurement of weld seams and the inspection of components with complex geometries. In addition to the UCI measuring method, the hardness tester can also be equipped with a rebound tester. This allows the hardness tester to be upgraded to a Leeb hardness tester.
