UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3

Ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) hardness testers use a vibrating rod with a diamond tip to measure metal hardness and are designed to handle tasks that cannot solve with the Leeb method.

NOVOTEST Lab is your real laboratory in your pocket!

With NOVOTEST App you are able:

  • Setting and calibration of the hardness tester;
  • Display of measurement results in real time in numerical form with the construction of a graph, histogram or statistics;
  • Take a picture of the test object with the puting of hardness marks;
  • Creation of a video of the controlled product;
  • Recording audio notes fro the tested object;
  • Automatic saving of measurement geolocation on Google maps;
  • Displaying a Google map with markers of places of measurements made on it and the ability to view these measurements;
  • Displaying the calendar of measurements (presentation of the archive in the form of measurements grouped by date);
  • Formation of the final comprehensive report on the measurement;
  • Sending a finished report to e-mail, messenger (or in any convenient way) directly from the application;
  • Flexible structure of the archive of measurements – completely similar to the usual explorer, with the ability to create folders and files with any names;
  • Synchronization with PC and other smartphones;
  • Cloud service for storing the archive of measurements;
  • Automatic and manual synchronization of cloud measurement archives between devices;
  • Launching the Google navigation mode, building a route and accompanying to the point at which the measurements were made
  • The ability to store archives of other devices with Bluetooth in one application.

The most modern and advanced ultrasonic device UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3, the main advantages of the device are:

MEASURING THE HARDNESS OF THIN-WALLED PRODUCTS
The UCI Hardness Tester T-U3 allows user to measure products from 1 mm thick without additional tools, and even less with the use of the UCI Probe Test Stand for thin sheets, which makes it unique among analogues.

MEASURING HARDNESS OF SMALL PRODUCTS
Using this device, the user can, without additional fixation and accessories, carry out hardness testing of products weighing just 100g or even less.

MEASURING HARDNESS OF COMPLEX SHAPED PRODUCTS
Unlike the standard Leeb probe, an ultrasonic (UCI) hardness tester probe needs an area of ​​only a few square millimeters in order to measure hardness. This allows users to measure hardness in hard-to-reach places, products of complex shape, weld and heat affected zone (HAZ), gear teeth, etc.

PROBES UNIVERSALITY
The probe of the UCI Hardness Tester T-U3 has a special nozzle, which ensures the perpendicularity of the indenter penetration into the surface of the tested object and minimizes the probability of operator error. Also, a special nozzle washer can be installed on the reverse side to operate with radius surfaces of different diameters. In the same way as it can be removed from the probe, in this case the thin nose of the probe can be installed in the grooves or in the narrow points of the product, where it is necessary to measure hardness.

ARCHIVING MEASUREMENT RESULTS WITH PHOTO FIXATION AND PRINT THE PROTOCOL ON A WIRELESS PRINTER
The world’s only portable hardness tester with a built-in camera, which allows users to save the image of the tested object with fixed points of the hardness value on its surface. Also, the device can be supplied with a wireless printer, which allows users to quickly print a measurement protocol without leaving the testing object.

UCI Hardness Tester T-U3 also comes with special software for operate with the device archive and subsequent data transfer for processing in convenient formats.

ADVANTAGES
