NOVOTEST T-U2 – economical UCI hardness tester
Applications
For workshops and inspection departments that need an inexpensive portable instrument for small, thin-walled or complex-shaped parts (gears, bearings, welds, nitrided and carburised layers) where the Leeb method is not suitable.
Key features
- Smallest indentation among portable methods – suitable for hardened layers and coatings
- Parts from ~100 g and from 1 mm thick (thinner with the U1-TL stand)
- 10 N, 50 N, 98 N probes for different surface preparation
- Shock-resistant silicone housing, 2 × AA, ≥20 h of operation
- Upgradable to the combined T-UD2 by adding a Leeb probe (with an activation code)
- Lab version – Bluetooth connection to the NOVOTEST Lab app (Android)
