Ultrasonic Durometer PCE-5000

Ultrasonic durometer according to the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method / for measuring in hard-to-reach places / durable device in stainless steel housing / LCD display with backlight / non-destructive measurement of metallic objects 

The ultrasonic durometer is a meter based on a patent from 1961. The ultrasonic durometer performs the measurement thanks to a diamond seated on a spring. Its design and measurement method make the ultrasonic durometer a simple and non-destructive metal durometer. The ultrasonic durometer allows measurement in different parts, as the device is programmed to measure different units of measurement. It includes the most common hardness units such as Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers. Since the PCE-5000 ultrasonic durometer is equipped with an RS-232 interface, it is possible to connect the device to a computer and read or print the data obtained in the measurement. The fact that the PCE-5000 ultrasonic durometer measures both extreme values and average values allows the user to have a comprehensive view of the data obtained in the measurement. The average value is automatically calculated after measuring at different points. The construction type of the PCE-5000 allows for easy measurement in hard-to-reach places and comfortable reading on the device's graphic display. Thanks to the calibration option of the ultrasonic durometer, the user can recalibrate it after proper use. Calibration should be performed, for example, if the device has not been used for more than three months, if there is a substantial change in environmental conditions, if the ultrasonic probe has performed a high number of measurements, or if a different calibration is required during measurement.
