MICRODUR MIC 10 - Portable hardness tester (UCI)
Range of application Advantages and features
Rapid hardness tests, simple handling and a high degree • Light, transportable hardness tester with a digital
of test safety. display for hardness tests with Vickers diamonds to
the UCI method
The MIC 10 works to the UCI method of measurement
(Ultrasonic Contact Impedance). The UCI method • Simple operation and practical functions
enables rapid and comfortable measurements: Apply the
probe – Read off the test data. The Vickers diamond’s • You can select whether a single measurement or the
indentation in the material surface is measured actual arithmetic average is to be displayed at the
electronically and is immediately displayed digitally as a touch of a button
hardness value. Without, for example, having to make
optical evaluation via a microscope. • Suspect single results can be corrected without any
problems without having to cancel the measurement
Hardness testing with the MIC 10 returns information on row
mechanical properties and wear resistance of steel, as
well as on aging processes on metallic parts such as • Adjustable alarm threshold settings indicate critical
cutting tools. measured values both optically and acoustically
The tensile strength is determined for material selection • Functions that aren’t required are simply locked,
and identification tests in structural steel engineering and either the different hardness scales or the adjustment
distribution. Applications include evaluation of welding possibilities
seams for containers and pipelines, numerous
components and parts, such as ball bearings, shafts, • The MIC 10 can be adapted precisely to the
bolts, extrusion parts, toothed wheels, etc., are tested in respective application
mechanical engineering.
• Background lighting can be switched on and off
Measurement probes with different weights are available
for different material surfaces: For finished surfaces as • Measurement range to Vickers: 20 HV - 1740 HV
well as for coarse grained or rough surfaces.
• Automatic conversion to DIN 50150 and ASTM E 40
The adjustment parameters for measurements on low in HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HRC (Rockwell C), and
alloy and non-alloyed steel are already pre-programmed HRB (Rockwell B)
in the MIC 10. The MIC 10 can be quickly and easily
PI 453 2.0504
readjusted for other materials. • Wide range of accessories, e.g. manual
measurement probes for test loads from
10 N to 98 N
