SonoDur 3: The latest generation of portable UCI hardness testers, featuring an Android operating system for data transfer via USB, WLAN, and Bluetooth with virtually unlimited measurement data storage capacity. It is compatible with a full suite of manual probes (1N to 100N) and motorized probes (1N to 8.6N), including standard, long, thin, and specialized versions for metal hardness testing. The unit meets ASTM A 1038 and DIN 50159-1 and 2 standards and can convert readings to ASTM E 140-13 and EN ISO 18265 material tables.SonoDur3:ThelatestgenerationofportableUCIhardnesstesters,featuringanAndroidoperatingsystemfordatatransferviaUSB,WLAN,andBluetoothwithvirtuallyunlimitedmeasurementdatastoragecapacity.Itiscompatiblewithafullsuiteofmanualprobes(1Nto100N)andmotorizedprobes(1Nto8.6N),includingstandard,long,thin,andspecializedversionsformetalhardnesstesting.TheunitmeetsASTMA1038andDIN50159-1and2standardsandcanconvertreadingstoASTME140-13andENISO18265materialtables.
SonoDur 2: An earlier model in the SonoDur series, replacing GE's MIC 10 and MIC 20 series UCI hardness testers. It utilizes manual or motorized probes for rapid and precise on-site hardness measurements of manufactured serial parts after heat treatment, welds, coatings, and surface processing. The device includes 4GB of integrated memory (expandable to 32GB) and supports data transfer via USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.SonoDur2:AnearliermodelintheSonoDurseries,replacingGE'sMIC10andMIC20seriesUCIhardnesstesters.Itutilizesmanualormotorizedprobesforrapidandpreciseon-sitehardnessmeasurementsofmanufacturedserialpartsafterheattreatment,welds,coatings,andsurfaceprocessing.Thedeviceincludes4GBofintegratedmemory(expandableto32GB)andsupportsdatatransferviaUSB,Wi-Fi,andBluetooth.
UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) Technology: A method where a Vickers diamond at the end of a vibrating rod is depressed onto a surface under a fixed load, converting the ultrasonic vibration frequency into a hardness value. This technology offers advantages such as portability, ease of use, accuracy, and the ability to measure light and thin-walled samples, not just large mass items.UCI(UltrasonicContactImpedance)Technology:AmethodwhereaVickersdiamondattheendofavibratingrodisdepressedontoasurfaceunderafixedload,convertingtheultrasonicvibrationfrequencyintoahardnessvalue.Thistechnologyoffersadvantagessuchasportability,easeofuse,accuracy,andtheabilitytomeasurelightandthin-walledsamples,notjustlargemassitems.
