Other Hardness Methods

UCI Method:  
AlphaDur UCI Method Hardness Tester: A true Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) Hardness Tester, This is an excellent hardness tester for heat effected zones.
Impact Brinell Testers:
An Impact Tester is one where you hit the Instrument with a hammer (Usually a Brass Hammer, 3LB) and compare the impression on the material under test and the test bar of a known hardness.
Generally you can take 64 readings with a Brinell Test Bar before it has to be replaced with a new one. The exception to this is the Calibrated Pin Tester which breaks a calibrated shear pin when you hit it with the hammer and using the chart supplied with the pins measure the reading on the piece under test. Pins come 250 pc to a Bag.
