UCI hardness tester TQ-4C special is successfully used in particularly difficult production and field conditions.
The device performs non-destructive quality control of products in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, nuclear industry, oil and gas industry.
The hardness tester is intended to be used for hardness measurement of carbon construction steels in basic hardness scales — Brinell (HB), Rockwell (HRC), Vickers (HV).
Hardness tester functions by UCI method (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance).
– Carbonaceous and structural steels
– Items with surface-hardened layers such as cementation, nitride hardening, high frequency current hardening
– Heat-proof, corrosion-proof, non-corrosive steels
– Plated coating (chrome), overlaying
– Items of complicated configuration
Measurement mode | Readings | Using |
By basic scales | Basic hardness units (HRC, HB, HV) | Hardness testing of the bulk of products |
By additional calibrations to basic scales | By HRA, HRB, HSD scales and ultimate tensile strength | Hardness testing of high-alloy steels, special cast iron and nonferrous metals |
By additional scales | Scales are programmed by the user | Special problems solving |
