Click here to listen to a brief summary of the article

In today’s industrial landscape, the demand for precision and efficiency in quality control has never been more significant. In this setting, S.A.M.A. Italia introduces its Ultrasonic Hardness Tester —an innovative tool that employs the UCI method (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) for accurate and non-destructive hardness measurements.

What is an Ultrasonic Hardness Tester and how does it work?

The Ultrasonic Durometer is a precision instrument that uses the principles of ultrasound to evaluate the hardness of materials. Operating with the UCI method, this device allows you to determine the hardness through the resistance encountered by an ultrasonic probe during penetration, ensuring high-precision results quickly and effectively.

Why this tool?

This instrument sets itself apart because it can be used directly on the production line, eliminating the need to disassemble machinery components.

This leads to significant time and savings of resourses, by maintaining production efficiency. Moreover, the device’s measurement technique ensures it leaves no noticeable marks on the tested components.

The Ultrasonic Hardness Tester in Action

To give you a hands-on feel for what our Ultrasonic Hardness Tester can do, we’ve put together a short demo video. This video highlights its precision, user-friendly design, and versatility.

We invite you to watch to understand how the SAMA Tools® SAUCI220 Ultrasonic Hardness Tester can simplify and improve the hardness measurement process in your manufacturing environment.


Where is this tool commonly used?

The hardness tester has broad applications across the foundational production sector, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries. Many clients in these fields rely on advanced technologies and specialized expertise to ensure the safety and reliability of their systems and infrastructure.

In the railway sector, for instance, companies thoroughly inspect components like train axles, tracks, poles, leaf springs, buffers, and hooks. These inspections are crucial for maintaining the high safety standards required by the industry and ensuring that trains and railway infrastructures are in optimal condition.

These non-destructive testing techniques can also be found in cable installations, where the safety of roller pins, rollers, and pulleys is paramount, as well as in amusement parks, where the priority is to create a secure and safe environment for children.
