Novotest T-UD3 Combined Hardness Tester

Novotest T-UD3 is the device operates with both UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) and Leeb (dynamic) probes and user get the benefits of two methods of measurement – it is the maximum that can be obtained from portable hardness tester method for the hardness testing.

Description Novotest T-UD3

The ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) probe is used for measuring the hardness of small items, objects with a thin wall, complex form, and to measure the hardness of surface hardened layers.

Universal portable hardness tester T-UD3 use the UCI method for the hardness measuring, which is standardized according to ASTM A 1038. This method allows user to measure very fast and easy: install the probe on tested object, press on the probe with required effort and after that save the results of the hardness value, which are showed on the display of the device.

Diamond indenter has a small size that allows user to measure hardness value of all samples, which are thicker than 1 mm. The UCI method of hardness testing is the least destructive method because the hardness tester T-UD3 leaves much smaller stamps than leaves the bench hardness tester. That’s why portable hardness tester T-UD3 is very useful and universal.

Leeb method for the hardness testing

Leeb probe is used for measuring the hardness of non-ferrous metals, cast iron, coarse-grained materials, massive products etc.

Novotest T-UD3 also use a dynamic method of the hardness measuring – Leeb method, which is standardized according to ASTM A956. This method allows user to measure very fast and easy: install the probe, press on the probe to recharge spring, press the button on the top of the probe to make test and after that save the results of the hardness value, which are showed on the display of the device.

This method is used for measuring the hardness value of non-ferrous metals, cast iron, coarse-grained materials, massive products etc. (with weigh more than 5 kg or thicker than 10 mm) also this method perfectly complements the UCI method of hardness measuring. Novotest T-UD3 makes automatic calculation of the hardness of a wide range of materials – steel, stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, aluminum, so that we can say that combined hardness testers is the most universal, which is needn’t in recalibration, and fully ready for operation after “getting out of the box”.

During the hardness testing, user can take a picture of the sample and print the results of hardness measurements on some place on the photo of sample.

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 Novotest T-UD3, the main advantages of the device are:

1. MEASURING THE HARDNESS OF THIN-WALLED PRODUCTSThe UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST 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 NOVOTEST for thin sheets, which makes it unique among analogues.
2. MEASURING HARDNESS OF SMALL PRODUCTSUsing this device, the user can, without additional fixation and accessories, carry out hardness testing of products weighing just 100g or even less.
3. MEASURING HARDNESS OF COMPLEX SHAPED PRODUCTSUnlike 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.
4. METHOD IS PRACTICALLY NON-DESTRUCTIVEThe imprint after measuring the hardness by the UCI method is several microns, and is practically not detected by the naked eye, in comparison with the Leeb method, the imprint of which is about 500 microns in diameter, depending on the hardness. It also makes it possible to measure the hardness of hardened layers of materials (nitriding, cementation, etc.).

PROBES UNIVERSALITY

The probe of the Novotest T-UD3 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.

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.
