Unlike Vickers testing, no optical evaluation of the indentation is required, enabling fast and portable measurements. The UCI method excites a rod into an ultrasonic oscillation. The test load is applied by a spring and typically ranges from 1 to 5 kg of force (HV1 \u2013 HV5). As the diamond is forced into the material, the frequency of the rod oscillation changes in response to the contact area between the diamond and the material under test. The instrument detects the shift in frequency, converts it to a hardness value which is immediately displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard to large objects<\/li>\n<li>Round objects<\/li>\n<li>Light objects<\/li>\n<li>Very hard objects<\/li>\n<li>Heat treated surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Polished objects<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Additional Applications :\n<ul>\n<li>Steam turbine generator<\/li>\n<li>Thermal cutting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Overview<\/h3>\n<table style=\"height: 758px;\" width=\"877\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Your Benefits<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"symbol\">\n<div class=\"symbol-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"your_benefits_13\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proceq.com\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/8\/2\/csm_flexible_e0e2437402.png\" alt=\"Combine with Leeb and Portable Rockwel\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" \/>\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: inherit;
