Description

Its robust design, backlit graphic LCD and standard 20 N probe provide practical handling and reliable performance in workshops, industrial plants and laboratories. The instrument supports a wide range of hardness scales, including Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell, while also displaying values in MPa for tensile strength reference.

The PCE-5000 also includes statistical functions for individual value, minimum, maximum and average, as well as internal memory and an RS-232 interface for transferring, reading or printing measured data on a computer. To ensure dependable long-term performance, the unit can be recalibrated easily after long storage periods, significant environmental changes or intensive probe use.

Key benefits

• Non-destructive metal hardness testing based on the UCI principle.
• High measurement accuracy for quality assurance and inspection workflows.
• Ideal for hard-to-reach areas, confined spaces and assembled components.
• Supports multiple hardness scales: HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HRA and MPa.
• Fast testing with results available in about 2 seconds.
• Built-in statistics with automatic min, max and average calculations.
• Internal memory for measurement groups and calibration data.
• RS-232 communication for PC connection and data management.
• Robust construction with a large backlit LCD for comfortable reading.

Recommended applications

The PCE-5000 ultrasonic hardness tester is designed for professionals who need reliable hardness testing on metallic materials without damaging the part. It is especially suitable for:

• Quality control in metalworking, machining and industrial production.
• Inspection of heat-treated parts, hardened surfaces and metallic components.
• Workshop, field service, maintenance and incoming material verification.
• Testing in complex geometries, narrow spaces and difficult access points.
• Applications requiring traceability, statistical review and data export.

Technical and functional advantages

The PCE-5000 stands out for combining portability, durability and measurement precision. Its UCI measurement principle, based on a spring-loaded diamond probe, allows fast and repeatable testing on metal parts with no material removal and no significant damage to the tested surface.

With 360° measuring direction, a minimum material thickness of 2 mm and automatic statistical processing, the unit is highly versatile for production, maintenance and laboratory work. The recalibration function also helps maintain dependable results under changing operational conditions.
