There are different kinds of methods for measurement of hardness:
Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Leeb, etc. are usually used.
Rockwell and Brinell tests force with larger test loads and large stamps what often leads to visible
damage to the material surface. The hardness-measuring of heavy work pieces, built-in machinery and
permanently assembled parts is therefore relatively difficult.
The ultrasonic hardness tester PCE-5000 uses the Ultrasonic Contact Impedance procedure to carry out
comparative hardness measurements for test pieces, with the advantages of a highly accurate, efficient,
portable and non-destructive measurement with simple operation.
