SAUTER HO 1K Mobile Ultrasound Hardness Testing Device

Features

Application: This ultrasound hardness testing device is ideally suited for mobile hardness testing, where the main emphasis is on obtaining rapid and precise results.
Principle: The SAUTER HO measures by using a vibrating rod which vibrates at ultrasonic frequency and is pressed onto the sample at a defined test force. At the lower end there is a Vickers indenter. Its resonant frequency increases as soon as an indentation is created when it comes into contact with the sample. Through appropriate adjustment of the device, the resulting change in resonant frequency is matched with the corresponding Vickers hardness.
Examples: The HO ultrasound hardness testing system is primarily used for measuring small forgings, castings, welding points, punched parts, casting tools, ball bearings and the flanks of gear wheels as well as for measuring the influence of warmth or heat
Advantages compared with Rockwell and Brinell: Means that the testing is almost nondestructive, small penetrations means that the testing is less destructive
Advantages compared with Vickers: Demanding optical measuring is not required. You can therefore carry out measurements directly on-site, for example, on a permanently installed workpiece
Advantages compared with Leeb : The high requirements on the weight of the test object can be widely omitted
Standards: The device meets following technical standards: DIN 50159-1; ASTM-A1038-2005; JB/T9377-2013
Measurement data memory saves up to 1000 measurement groups each with 20 individual values
Mini statistics function: Display of the measuring result, the number of measurements, the maximum and minimum value as well as the average value and the standard deviation
Calibration: The device can be set to both standard hardness test blocks and also to up to 20 reference calibration values. When doing this it is possible to measure different materials quickly, without having to re-adjust the device to the individual materials
Scope of delivery: Standard block for calibration (approx. 61 HRC), USB cable, Display unit, UCI sensor unit, transport case, software to transfer the saved data to the PC, accessories

Accessories

External impact sensor Type D, Leeb standard sensor, can be reordered at any time, SAUTER AHMO D
Calibration and adjustment plate (hardness test blocks) with defined and tested steel hardness for regular testing and adjustment of hardness testing devices. The hardness values are indicated. A key feature of the plates is the low-granular, homogenous finish of the steel, ∅ 90 mm, including calibration certificate
28 to 35 HRC: SAUTER HO-A09
38 to 43 HRC: SAUTER HO-A10
48 to 53 HRC: SAUTER HO-A11
58 to 63 HRC: SAUTER HO-A12
Test stand for repeatable movements during testing. In this way you can avoid errors which could occur with manual handling of the sensor. This ensures even more stable measurements and more precise measuring results.
