Adapter “U4” for positioning of probe on flat, curved, cylindrical surfaces.
Minimum diameter of controlled item is 4 mm.
Adapter “U4” is purposed for following UCI probes:
- Probe A (HV5)
- Probe H (HV1)
- Probe C (HV10)
Adapter “U4” facilitates measurement of hardness by UCI hardness tester metal items with flat or curved (cylindrical) surface with a diameter at least 4 mm.
Preparation for work:
- Unscrew the protective tip from the ultrasonic probe (probes Types A / H / C);
- On the thread of the probe screw the head Adapter “U4” with a flat side to work on flat surfaces or a special side with grooves for work on curved surfaces;
- Install the probe with Adapter “U4” on the controlled surface;
- Perform the measurement as usual.
Adapter “U4” consists of a body with a spring mechanism and a support washer with 2 working sides:
Flat side |
Specialized side |
One side has a flat surface for stable positioning of the UCI probe to control even surface |
The other side is a specialized surface to control curved items with a diameter from 4 mm |
