1. DESCRIPTION OF THE HARDNESS TESTER
1.1 Purpose of the hardness tester
Universal hardness tester PCE-3000ULS is designed to control the hardness of metal
products.
The PCE-3000ULS hardness tester combines two methods of hardness measurement:
ultrasonic and dynamic. This makes the instrument the most versatile and efficient solution
for incoming, in-operational and outgoing material quality control.
The universal hardness tester is used for various tasks. For example, it is well suited
for measuring carbon and structural steels, surface-hardened products, heat-resistant,
corrosion-resistant, stainless steels, galvanic coatings, surfacing, products of complex
configuration, thin-walled and compact products.
The device is pre-calibrated Leeb scale for steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum,
bronze and brass, copper. Standard Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell, and Shore calibrations are
also available. The user can create and correct additional calibrations for soft and hard
materials. The UCI method is pre-calibrated for steel
The hardness tester can be used to control hardness:
- high-alloy, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, stainless, and other steels
- non-ferrous metals and alloys
- cast iron
- surface-hardened and other layers on steel products (HFC hardening, carburizing,
nitriding, etc.)
- products from fine-grained materials
In the case when the properties of the controlled material differ from carbon structural
steels, measurements are carried out after programming an additional calibration (or
additional scale) on hardness samples from the corresponding material by the user of the
device or at the manufacturer, by the user's order.
The PCE-3000ULS is available with pre-installed optional scales for testing a range of
