UCI Probes
for MIC 10 and MIC 20 hardness testers.
Key Features
quick and easy hardness testing standardized according to ASTM A 1038 on-site and in any direction versatile probes for extensive application area
Typical Applications
heat-treated parts and surfaces, especially at difcult to access positions ready-assembled machines heat-affected zone of a weld thin coatings or layers
Standard Probes
These manual UCI probes are available with test loads from 10N to 98N and suitable for all standard applications, especially for hardness tests on heat-treated materials.
Motorized Probes
Using a motor the test load for the 1N, 3N or 8N probe is applied automatically. Therefore, the motorized probes are particularity suited for hardness testing on finished precision parts, thin coatings or layers e.g. rotogravure cylinders.
Test method
With the standardized UCI method (ASTM A1038) the size of the hardness test indentation is detected electronically by determining the shift of ultrasonic frequency under load. This shift is proportional to the size of the indentation produced by the Vickers diamond in the material.
