PCE Instruments Hardness Tester with UCI and Leeb Probes for Metal Testing (PCE-3000ULS)

Description

PCE Instruments Hardness Tester (PCE-3000ULS) is a versatile, mobile device designed for non-destructive metal hardness testing. Featuring both Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) and Dynamic Rebound (Leeb) methods, this unit provides highly accurate readings for various materials, including steel, aluminum, and copper.

The PCE Instruments Hardness Tester is suitable for components as thin as 1 mm and offers extensive functionality for industrial and laboratory applications. Its advanced features, including a large color LCD, built-in memory, and USB connectivity, ensure efficient data recording and easy analysis.
