PCE-3000ULS Universal Hardness Tester ( UCI+ Leeb)

There is a tool for testing hardness called the “Universal Hardness Tester”(PCE-3000ULS). It is used to determine the hardness of various materials by using different methods such as the Rockwell, Vickers, and Brunel hardness testers.

product overview

Use the hardness tester to evaluate component hardness. It measures Vickers, Brinell, and Rockwell hardness, plus steel tensile strength up to 1740 MPa. It’s easy to use and can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C. Comes with a manual test probe for

The benefits of two techniques, Dynamic Rebound (Leeb) and Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI), are combined in the universal hardness tester PCE-3000ULS. This enables the user to complete virtually any task involving field hardness testing.

More than 500 hardness scales may be created and stored with the PCE-3000ULS, and the user can check the history of all data after testing. Steel is the default calibration for the UCI probe. The pre-calibrated materials for the Leeb probe include steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, brass, and copper.

Users can generate and adjust extra calibrations for soft and hard materials.

This tool is a universal tool for non-destructive metal hardness testing since it contains all the features for dealing with materials and scales.
A user-defined hardness scale may be created using the one-point calibration and a sample with known hardness. Due to this benefit, the hardness tester may be calibrated by the user to be as exact as possible and come close to matching a stationary hardness tester’s accuracy. Additionally, it enables the user to rapidly and accurately gauge the hardness of a sizable batch of items.

PCE-3000ULS Universal Hardness Tester ( UCI+ Leeb) features

• has a large color display and a strong backlight.
• Reliable performance under challenging climate conditions.
• Wider temperature range (freeze-proof to -20 °C).
• The instrument is built in a dust-proof casing for long-term use in field and workshop settings.
• Rubber buffers keep the device functioning while protecting it from unintentional shocks or crashes from heights of up to 5 m.
• 2 detachable probes: dynamic rebound (Leeb) and ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI).
• In the case of a fault, it is possible to quickly replace the sensor thanks to the storing of the calibration in the UCI probe’s memory without having to send the device back to the manufacturer for factory calibration.
• It is possible to configure the sensitivity coefficient and modify the probe’s signal processing for expert work to obtain maximum accuracy.
