Phase II’s PHT-6000-series non-destructive, portable ultrasonic hardness tester is a handheld device enabling measurement of hardness on small, large, flat, round, thin or thick workpieces. The unit is capable of testing softer metals such as copper and brass as well as the typical hard metals and alloys while adhering to ASTM A1038-10 guidelines for portable hardness testing using the UCI method. According to the company, the non-destructive feature enables accurate testing on delicate or finely-finished surfaces without physical or structural damage to the part. The tester can easily convert and be calibrated to common hardness scales such as HRC, HRB, HRN, HRT, HB and HV. The tester outputs to a PC via USB interface.
The company also offers a line of portable hardness testers in addition to ultrasonic thickness gages, surface roughness testers and coating thickness gages.
