(Incl. Tax: €6,990.22)
Ultrasonic hardness tester based on the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance principle, ideal for non-destructive measurements on metallic materials even in hard-to-reach areas. The system with a diamond-tipped spring ensures high precision and allows conversion to various scales such as Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers. The robust stainless steel structure, backlit LCD display, and RS-232 interface make the analysis intuitive and comprehensive. The automatic calibration function ensures consistent reliability even after long periods of inactivity.
The ultrasonic hardness tester is a precise solution for non-destructive testing of metals, based on the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method. The measurement principle uses a spring-mounted diamond tip capable of detecting material hardness with high sensitivity. Its compact design and stainless steel housing make it suitable for harsh environments and narrow spaces, ensuring reliable readings even in hard-to-reach areas.
