Portable Hardness Testers (Leeb, UCI & Rockwell)

The Leeb (rebound) method measures the rebound velocity of an impact body and is ideal for large, heavy components, castings and forgings. The UCI method measures the frequency shift of a loaded diamond indenter and is suited to thin-walled parts, welds, gears and smooth, fine-grained surfaces. Portable Rockwell probes provide a direct static reading on thin-walled, tubular and small parts and serve as a reference method.

Results convert automatically to the common hardness scales — HRC, HRB, HB, HV and HS — so readings can be reported in whichever scale your specification requires.

Choose a probe by part mass, geometry and access: Leeb impact devices D, DC, C, DL and G; UCI probes U-10N, U-50N and U-100N; and portable Rockwell probes SPR and SPR-A. The combined Leeb + UCI capability of the KT-C lets a single instrument cover both large rough parts and small, complex components.

Applications include incoming material control, heat-treatment verification, weld inspection, and in-service inspection of structures, pipes and pressure equipment. Testing follows recognised standards (Leeb: ASTM A956 / ISO 16859; UCI: ASTM A1038 / ISO 21968). Equipment is EU-made and supplied with test blocks, support and training.
