UCI Probe Test Stand NOVOTEST

The UCI Probe Test Stand is designed for measuring the hardness of ultra-thin sheet products by compensating for deformation caused by the UCI probe indenter. It is compatible with UCI U1 probes used with NOVOTEST hardness testers, ensuring accurate measurements on thin-walled materials.

To ensure a snug fit to the stand base, we recommend to use couplants that have to be applied to the back side of the product. Firmly tighten the clamping screw of the stand, remove the nozzle from the UCI probe and install the probe in the corresponding groove to do test. For correct measurements, it is necessary to carry out at least 3 measurements in the mode of averaging values. Each new measurement of the series should be performed in a new place, to do it need to loos the clamping screw of the stand, and shift the product a few millimeters from the previous measurement.

Advantages

In the most cases using UCI probes along with the stand during testing of small parts, is the optimal choice, because the operator errors while measurements significantly decreasing, that leads to the most accurate result.
The unit has simple design and high-quality parts.
