Description
PCE Instruments UCI Hardness Tester (PCE-5000) is a professional device designed for precise metal hardness testing. Using the ASTM A1038 ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) method, this tester ensures non-destructive hardness measurement with minimal surface impact.
This UCI hardness tester offers a rapid 2-second measurement time and supports multiple hardness scales, including Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and MPa tensile strength. The device is equipped with a backlit LCD, simple calibration, and an RS-232 interface for data transfer.
