UCI HARDNESS TESTER
UCI Hardness Tester is a high-precision hardness tester designed for the rapid measurement of metal hardness in laboratory, construction, and field settings. This machine is available with the model number UCI TKM459CE.
The equipment is designed for non-destructive quality assurance testing in industries such as metallurgy, mechanical engineering, aerospace, shipbuilding, nuclear power, and oil & gas.
The UCI hardness tester functions by the UCI method(Ultrasonic Contact Impedance).

DESCRIPTION
UCI TKM-459CE controls hardness of following:
- Steels that are carbonaceous and structural steels.
- Cementation, nitride hardening, and high frequency current hardening are examples of items having surface-hardened layers.
- Steels that are heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and non-corrosive.
- UCI hardness tester test the overlapping chrome-plated coating and items with a complex configuration.
Exploitation advantages
- Stable readings independent from force and time of pressing.
- Easy measuring in hard-to-reach areas.
- UCI hardness tester test the Ultra-small control area (from 1 mm).
- Control in slots and blind holes from 5 mm (not provided by rival devices).
- Invisible print on mirror-surface.
- Low sensitivity to the curvative of surface, thickness and weight of product.
Features of UCI Hardness Tester TKM-459CE
- Impact-, dust- and water- proof housing.
- Graphical user interface that is easy to use.
- Working at below zero temperatures is possible because to the vivid colour graphic display, which remains bright in all illumination.
- Signalization of exceeding of prescribed readings threshold.
- Unique system of statistic data processing and averaging of readings.
- By using two or fewer standard blocks, you may quickly modify readings and set extra calibrations to basic scales.
- Flexible device memory for recording of readings and their analysis.
- Programming of additional scales calibrations by 2 or less standard test blocks.
- Fast programming of additional scales by 2 to 10 standard test blocks.

DISTINCTIVE ATTRIBUTES
DISTINCTIVE ATTRIBUTES OF UCI TKM459CE
- UCI tkm459ce is required to Controlled Item:
- Items heavier than 1 kg and thicker than 2 mm need no additional preparation;
- Items lighter than 1 kg should be fixed in a vice clamp or on a support plate by fixing paste;
- Items thinner than 2 mm should be fixed in a vice clamp or on a support plate by fi xing paste;
- Roughness of controlled surface providing best measurement accuracy is 1.6 RA.
Hardness Testers Modes
| Measurement mode | Readings | Using |
|---|---|---|
| By basic scales | Basic hardness units (HRC, HB, HV) | Hardness testing of the bulk of products |
| By additional calibrations to basic scales | HRA, HRB, HSD, and ultimate tensile strength scales | High-alloy steels, special cast iron, and nonferrous metals are all subjected to hardness testing. |
| By additional scales | Scales are programmed by the user | Special problems solving |
The Parameters of the Statistical Processing of Measurements
- Maximum, minimum, mean value, standard deviation from the mean.
- The average deviation from the values set by a user, results are more/less the values, the maximum deviation in the large/smaller side of the value.
- Number of results outside the upper/lower limit of range (user specified), maximum deviation from the upper/lower border.
- Automatic garbage results, incorrect measurement.
- Comparison of results of measurements in the series (the comparison charts on the display of the hardness tester).
