UCI hardness tester PCE-3500 - Ultrasonic contact strength tester is designed for non-destructive hardness measurement of metal components. A 136° Vickers diamond at the probe is excited with its self-resonance to allow the user to very precisely measure the hardness of small objects, thin-walled objects (>1 mm) and hard layers surface.

• Probes with 50 Newtons / 11.2 lbf force, 10 and 98 N optional
  
• Test HRC, HRB, HV, HB, MPa
  
• Memory function via SD card and PC software included
  
• Large color LCD display with backlight.

The PCE-3000UL Universal Hardness Tester can be used to quickly test the hardness of parts even after installation with two professional probes. This instrument offers a wide measuring range, easy handling, robust design, and temperature resistance up to 40°C (104°F). Measuring hardness in Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers, the UCI durometer can test the tensile strength of steel up to 1740 MPa or 70 HRC. The tester comes with two probes, one UCI probe for non-destructive testing and one Leeb probe for rebound testing.

• Non-destructive hardness testing
  
• Ultrasonic hardness test method + Leeb
  
• Various hardness scales can be selected
  
• 5 materials can be tested
  
• 2 probes for UCI and Leeb . recovery testing.

PCE-HT 225E Concrete Hardness Hammer, also known as concrete recovery hammer or Swiss hammer, is used for non-destructive measurement of surface hardness and compressive strength. Suitable for use with concrete, stone and building materials. This concrete hardness tester has a live digital display, voice function, USB data interface and memory to store up to 200 measurement values.

Metal hardness tester. PCE 950-ICA with ISO certificate used to determine the hardness of 10 different types of metal (i.e., cast steel, hammered steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, brass, bronze and forged copper alloy) according to the Leeb rebound method. In addition to Leeb hardness units, the metal hardness tester displays hardness measurements in Rockwell C, Rockwell B, Rockwell A, Brinell, Vickers and Shore hardness units.

• Data analysis software
  
• Use with wrought steel, cold rolled steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, aluminum alloy, brass, copper and copper alloy metal forging
  
• Includes ISO calibration certificate.

Leeb Hardness Tester - The PCE-2000N hardness meter uses the Leeb recovery method. This is a method of dynamic hardness testing in which a standardized test piece, usually a hard metal ball, is struck with a specified impact energy on the test surface.

• Measure by Leeb Rebound method
  
• Hardness scale: HL (Leeb), HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HS (Shore), HRA (Rockwell A), HRB (Rockwell B), HRC (Rockwell C)
