Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3
Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3 combines two methods of measuring hardness by an indirect method: Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (ASTM A1038) and Leeb (ASTM A956). This makes the device the most versatile portable device in the world.
The ability to connect both probes combines the advantages of both methods and providing users the opportunity to use the one that is most suitable for solving a specific task. The Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3 allows user to measure the hardness of any metals, parts of any shape and thickness, measure the hardness of the surface hardened layers and evaluate the tensile strength.
The main advantages of the Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3:
ABILITY OF CONNECTING BOTH METHODS PROBES WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE DEVICE
The user can measure the hardness of completely different metal products of different shapes, structures, materials and the degree of surface preparation with same unit, just replacing probe.
SMALL PARTS MEASURING
Using the UCI, the operator can measure small products, we recommend parts weighing from 100 gr and a thickness from 1 mm, and when using the UCI Probe Test Stand NOVOTEST, even thinner.
COMPLEX SHAPE PRODUCTS MEASURING
Also, with the help of the ultrasonic probe, the user will be able to solve the tasks of measuring the hardness of grooves, surfaces of small radius, inaccessible places and products of complex shape.
SMALL IMPRINT OF UCI TYPE PROBE
Due to the fact that the UCI probe has a penetration depth of only a few microns, it becomes possible to work with products with high print requirements (the maximum non-destructive method is required), as well as measure the hardness of hardened layers, such as nitriding and cementation.
MEASURING PARTS WITH BAD SURFACE
Using a dynamic probe (Leeb probe), the user can test the hardness of massive products with poorly prepared surfaces. The method also allows to measure products with a coarse-grained structure without a significant dispersion of measurements.
CALIBRATED FOR DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND SCALES
Thanks to the presence of built-in calibrations of the Leeb probe for various materials and scales, the device becomes a universal tool for measuring hardness for most common metals.
BUILT-IN CAMERA
The device has a built-in camera, which allows the user to store a measurement archive of images of the tested objects with binding of hardness to a specific place on the product.
Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3 can be used with special soft for operate with saved archive of measurements. Or each saved recording cab be printed through wireless printer that can be additionally completed with the device.

UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3
The most popular portable hardness tester in the world is the Leeb hardness tester, however, there are tasks that using this method is very difficult or even impossible to solve. This is due to the physics of the method, which assumes the massiveness of the testing object, to ensure the inertness of the product when the Leeb’s impact body hits the surface with a given force. In order to solve a wider range of tasks on the rapid measurement of metal hardness, our company offers hardness testers that implement the method of ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) in accordance with ASTM A1038. A vibrating rod (mechanical resonator) with a diamond tip acts as an indenter in these devices, when it indent into the material, the base frequency of the resonator changes, on the basis of which the hardness is calculated. This method has proven itself around the world and has been used in industry for over 50 years.
The most modern and advanced ultrasonic device TM NOVOTEST is UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3, the main advantages of the device are:
MEASURING THE HARDNESS OF THIN-WALLED PRODUCTS
The 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.
MEASURING HARDNESS OF SMALL PRODUCTS
Using this device, the user can, without additional fixation and accessories, carry out hardness testing of products weighing just 100g or even less.
MEASURING HARDNESS OF COMPLEX SHAPED PRODUCTS
Unlike 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.
METHOD IS PRACTICALLY NON-DESTRUCTIVE
The 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.).
VARIOUS LOADS OF PROBES
As standard, the device comes with a probe whose indenter penetration force is 50N (5 kgf), this probe is the most universal and solves 90% of the tasks that can be solved using this method. However, in special cases there is a need to use probes with increased or reduced load on the resonator, the main features and applications are presented in the table:
PROBES UNIVERSALITY
The probe of the UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3 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. Also, a special nozzle washer can be installed on the reverse side to operate with radius surfaces of different diameters. In the same way as it can be removed from the probe, in this case the thin nose of the probe can be installed in the grooves or in the narrow points of the product, where it is necessary to measure hardness.
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.
UNIQUE RELIABILITY AND WARRANTY
NOVOTEST hardness testers are highly reliable. The ultrasonic hardness probe allows user to perform more than 200 thousand measurements without the need for repairs or replacements, and the design of the electronic unit allows to use it in quite difficult operating conditions. Subject to the rules of operation, the service life of the hardness tester is more than 10 years.

UCI Probe Test Stand NOVOTEST
NOVOTEST UCI probe Test Stand is used to measure the hardness of superthin sheet products. It can be used with any UСI probes which are equipped with NOVOTEST hardness testers. The point is that the thin wall of the product, when the UCI probe indenter is indented into it, does not provide sufficient impedance (it deforms under the load of the probe). In order to compensate for this deformation, this device is used.
To ensure a snug fit to the stand base, we recommend to use couplants that have to be applied to the back side of the product. Firmly tighten the clamping screw of the stand, remove the nozzle from the UCI probe and install the probe in the corresponding groove to do test. For correct measurements, it is necessary to carry out at least 3 measurements in the mode of averaging values. Each new measurement of the series should be performed in a new place, to do it need to loos the clamping screw of the stand, and shift the product a few millimeters from the previous measurement.
In the most cases using UCI probes along with the stand during testing of small parts, is the optimal choice, because the operator errors while measurements significantly decreasing, that leads to the most accurate result.
The unit has simple design and high-quality parts.
| Maximum height of the testing objects | 15 mm |
| Maximum depth of the testing objects | 110 mm |
| Dimensions, LxWxH | 300*70*50 mm |
