4 Variations
The THU 271 ultrasonic hardness tester is a device designed to measure the hardness of metallic materials using the ultrasonic principle. It can be used to assess the hardness of common materials such as steel, cast steel, copper and aluminium alloys.
The device has three ‘user material’ profiles with a configuration wizard, enabling measurements to be carried out quickly on specific or new materials.
This feature considerably extends the scope of the hardness tester’s applications.
