The PHASE II ultrasonic/dynamic portable hardness testers are capable of measuring the surface hardness of a
broad variety of metals on flat, round, thin or large surfaces. Unlike the standard Dynamic hardness testers, these "state-of-the-art" portable hardness testers incorporate "Ultrasonic UCI" technology, which enables the hardness testing of very thin and small workpieces, which otherwise could not be tested accurately using a portable device. Non-destructive in it's function, these hardness testers allow for the testing of highly sensitive or finished parts that previously could not be tested in an operational setting. The non-destructive (ndt) feature of these hardness testers allow the operator to accurately test parts without causing physical or structural damage that would normally lead to disposal or refinish of operators part.
The Phase II MET series of portable hardness testers offers a model that include a dynamic probe for easy, quick hardness testing of parts with a mass greater than 5kg
UCI Hardness Testing
Method:
MET-U1A and MET-UD
A hardness testing method based on
the measurement of the frequency shift of a
resonating rod caused by the essentially
elastic nature of the finite area of contact
between the indenter and the test piece
during the penetration. Described as a
hardness testing practice using a
calibrated instrument by pressing a
resonating rod with a Vickers style Diamond
indenter with a fixed force against the
surface of the part to be tested.
LEEB Hardness Testing
Method:
MET-UD only
This is a dynamic hardness test method using
a calibrated instrument that impacts a
spherically shaped carbide ball with a fixed
velocity (generated by a spring force) onto
a surface of the material under test. The
ratio of the rebound velocity to the impact
velocity of the impact body is a measure of
the hardness of the material under test.
