    Ultrasonic Portable Hardness Testers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hardness Testers. Ultrasonic Portable Hardness Testers.
    Using ultrasonic vibrations, these testers determine hardness without leaving an indent on hardened materials. They only leave minimal damage on softer metal and work on metal as thin as 0.08”. Use the included test block to determine the right amount of force to apply to your probe. To perform a test, press the diamond tip probe into your material and apply consistent pressure for reliable results. These testers are highly precise and convert measurements between Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell ratings. Measurements are shown on a backlit digital display, so you can read them even in dark or dimly lit areas. Store up to 2,000 readings with their built-in memory or transfer the data to your PC using the USB port. Small enough to carry, take these testers to your material. Their lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery keeps them running for up to six hours before recharging is required.
    NIST calibrated test blocks are included to help you understand how to properly press the probe to your material for an accurate result. The test blocks can also be used to recalibrate the device. These testers must be calibrated to the specific hardness scale and material being tested. They come pre-calibrated with five combinations: aluminum on the Rockwell B scale, brass on the Rockwell B scale, steel on the Rockwell C and B scales, and steel on the Brinell scale.

    Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thickness Gauges. Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges.
    Measure the thickness of material such as metal and plastic. The ultrasonic probe provides highly accurate readings. These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they have passed a test for accuracy. They also include a USB cord for connecting to your PC. Use the included ultrasonic gel for maximum surface contact.

    Check the tension of your machine’s flat, timing, or V-belt—no matter its width. These gauges use ultrasonic sound waves to take noncontact readings. To measure, simply pluck the belt like a guitar string to create vibration. Because they don't touch the belt, they won't accidentally change the tension like a traditional gauge might.
    For gauges without a keypad, you’ll need to manually calculate your belt’s rating in pounds or newtons using its hertz rating, weight, and length.
    Economy—Economy gauges are often used to test standard rubber belts in light duty machinery and automotive engines.
    Premium—Premium gauges are specifically engineered for heavy machinery. Their software and sensors are fine-tuned to accurately measure high-performance belts, such as those made of carbon fiber or Kevlar.
    Remote Reading—Remote-reading gauges have a sensor attached to a cable to measure in hard-to-reach spots.
    Dual Sensor—Gauges with a dual sensor give you two ways to measure. For one-handed use, measure with the sensor built into the display instead of the cable sensor.
    Keypad—Gauges with a keypad convert the hertz rating into pounds or newtons when you input your belt’s weight and length.

    Grease Dispenser Monitors

    Extend the life of bearings by using these monitors to take the guesswork out of lubrication. Their sensor captures the ultrasonic vibration of grease as it fills your bearing and converts it into sound you can hear. As your bearing draws in the grease, the sound becomes quieter. Even in loud machine shops, you'll be able to track this sound with the noise-cancelling headphones and noise level readings shown on the monitor's screen. When the noise level stops decreasing, the bearing can't absorb any more grease and you should stop pumping grease to avoid over-lubricating your bearing.
    The handset guides you through the steps for setting the noise level before applying grease. Use either the curved or flat magnetic mount to attach the sensor to the bearing. The monitor mounts to your grease gun, so you’ll have your hands free for pumping grease.

    This detector converts ultrasonic waves to an audible sound so you can find leaks. Unlike typical leak detectors, this unit doesn’t rely only on the presence of a gas to work, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. In addition to gas leaks, it identifies ultrasonic sound caused by failing solenoids, valves, and bearings.
