Specification

The MET-U1A differs completely from traditional hardness testers: instead of measuring the size of the indentation of the test sample using a microscope, it uses a diamond indenter equipped with a vibrating rod that presses on the test surface at a fixed load and then measures its hardness by applying ultrasonic vibrations and analysing its damping effect.

The technique is very reproducible which makes the MET-U1A a perfect tool for on-site measurements such as maintenance of large scale structures, vehicles, ships, steel towers, bridges, air planes. It is ideal for inspection of thin materials or difficult to get area such as crank shaft metal casts, gears and grooved areas.

• Uses UCI principle of hardness testing
• Suitable for hardness testing of metals, plastics and ceramics
• Rockwell ( HRC) , Brinell ( HB) , Vickers ( HV) and Shore ( HSD)
• Leaves almost no visible indent on the tested article surface
