1.4 Purpose of the probes
The Rebound Leeb Probe (Figure 1.1, Rebound Leeb Probe) – purposed for hardness
measurement by dynamic method. It is intended for measuring hardness of large-sized objects, and
also coarse-grained materials.
The UCI Probe U1 (Figure 1.1, Contact Impedance (UCI) Probe U1) - Measurement of hardness
by Ultrasonic Contact Impedance method. The use of a diamond indenter allows the probe to be
mounted precisely at any tiny point, and leaves a small-size imprint, making the measurement of the
U1 the least destructive.
The probe is perfectly suited for the following tasks: measuring the hardness of complex shapes,
fine-grained materials, heat-treated materials, thin layers and coatings, surface hardened parts, thin-
walled pipes, small parts, etc.
Table 1.4 shows the characteristics of the UCI U1 type probes.
