UCI Durometer, PCE-5000, PCE Instruments

PCE-5000 is a portable hardness tester or durometer that uses the ASTM A1038 ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) method to measure the hardness of metals and alloys with a minimum thickness of 2 mm / .08 in. Ultrasonic hardness testing is considered nondestructive, as it creates a microscopic indentation only visible when using a high-powered microscope.

Featuring a quick 2-second measurement time, this UCI hardness tester is the ideal tool for weld inspection, hardness control of metal coatings and hardness measurement of fine-grained metals, small forgings, cast materials, heat-affected zones, ion-nitrided stamping dies and molds, forms, presses, thin-walled structures and parts, bearings, tooth flanks, pipes, tanks, steel sheets and products with intricate or complex shapes.

Features

• Measures the hardness of metals and alloys with a minimum thickness of 2 mm
• Stores up to 2000 measurement groups / 20 calibration sets to memory
• Provides measurements in just 2 seconds
• Probe fits into small spaces and hard-to-reach places
