Combined Hardness Tester | T-UD2
R27,048.00 – R50,850.00 ex vat
Combined Hardness Tester - Overview

This optimal device for non-destructive testing of metal hardness combines the advantages of two methods: Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (ASTM A1038) and Leeb (ASTM A956). This makes it possible to solve almost any task of operational hardness testing. The user can measure the hardness of large products with rough surfaces and small samples of complex shapes and thin walls. Functions for working with various materials and scales include doing hardness measurements, calibrating the device, setting up a display of values, saving the results of hardness measurements, synchronising the archive with your other devices and a PC, and transferring measurement results to your colleagues. This is available on your smartphone thanks to the special NOVOTEST app for Android. By using a Bluetooth connection, your smartphone turns into a new-generation hardness tester! The intuitive interface, documentation, internet access, touch screen, camera, microphone and GPS receiver of a smartphone turn your hardness tester into something unique and previously inaccessible.

Combined Hardness Tester - Features
- 2 removable probes: UCI and Leeb
- Almost no restrictions for hardness testing

- Wide range of hardness values
- Easy and convenient to use
- Graphical contrast display with backlight
- Automatic recognition of probe
- Extended temperature range (cold-resistant, down to -20 °C)
- Device has internal memory and allows user to transmit data to PC
- Preset calibrations for common materials and scales
- Measures products with high roughness and coarse grained materials
- Measures products with thin walls
- Measures small products
- Measures radius surface products
- Can be used in places difficult to access

Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Probe | UCI U2
Call for price
Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Probe - Overview

The UCI method can be used to measure the hardness of metal products of almost any shape, mass or thickness. The repeatability of results is also less influenced by the operator and measurement technique. It is easy to use with increased accuracy. It is housed in ergonomic stainless steel which has a special protective cap for the indenter and a replaceable cable that connects via a Lemo type connector. It can also be paired with a special nozzle for working with products of various shapes.

Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Probe - Features
- Hardness Measurement in narrow places and grooves
- Application for products of every shape
- Measuring the hardness of reinforced layers and coatings
- Configuration depending on the task
- Various probe loads
- Universal
- Accurate
- Multifunctional
- Easy to use

Combined Hardness Tester | T-UD3
Call for price
Combined Hardness Tester - Overview

The Combined Hardness Tester T-UD3 combines Ultrasonic Contact Impedance, UCI, (ASTM A1038), and Leeb (ASTM A956) to measure hardness by an indirect method. This portable device is incredibly versatile. The ability to use both probes combines the advantages of both methods and provides users with the opportunity to use the most suitable for solving a specific task. The Combined Hardness Tester allows the user to measure the hardness of any metals, parts of any shape and thickness, measure the hardness of the surface hardened layers, and evaluate the tensile strength. Suitable for measuring any mass products with more than 1 mm thickness (small parts, thin-walled structures, pipes, tanks, steel sheets, articles of complex shape, hardness testing of metal coatings, etc.).

Combined Hardness Tester - Features
