Precision Hardness in Confined Spaces: ADELIX Sensor UCI-P (50 N Test Load)

Navigate the complexities of internal hardness testing with the ADELIX Sensor UCI-P. Specifically engineered to provide accurate Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (UCI) hardness measurements inside challenging geometries such as tanks and pipes with diameters as small as 80 mm (approximately 3.15 inches), this specialized sensor from ADELIX is an indispensable tool for quality control and material assessment in critical industrial environments.

Designed for Internal Access and Reliable Results:

• "P" Designation for Pipe/Internal Access: The "P" in UCI-P typically signifies a pipe-specific or internal access probe design. This unique form factor allows it to enter and effectively measure hardness on the internal walls of:

  • Pipes and tubes with a minimum diameter of 80 mm (3.15 inches).

  • Small-diameter tanks and vessels.

  • Other confined internal spaces where conventional probes cannot reach.

• Optimal 50 N (5 Kgf) Test Load: This sensor is designed to apply a 50 Newton (approximately 5 kgf) test load. This is a common and highly effective force for UCI hardness testing, providing:

  • Robust and Repeatable Readings: Sufficient load to ensure good contact and consistent indentations for reliable measurements, even on curved internal surfaces.

  • Versatile Material Range: Suitable for a broad spectrum of materials, from soft metals to very hard steels, ensuring accuracy across various applications.

• Non-Destructive & Minimal Indentation: The UCI method is renowned for creating an extremely small, almost invisible indentation. This makes the ADELIX UCI-P sensor ideal for finished products or components where minimal surface marking is critical, even within the confines of a pipe or tank.

• Wide Hardness Measurement Range: Compatible with ADELIX UCI hardness testers, this sensor enables measurements across various standard hardness scales, including HRC (Rockwell C), HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HRB (Rockwell B), and HRA (Rockwell A), providing comprehensive material characterization. (Note: "50 H" likely refers to a specific hardness value or a common test point within its measurement range, indicating its capability for robust measurements up to that hardness level).

• High Precision and Repeatability: Leveraging the UCI principle, the sensor measures the impedance changes of an oscillating rod as its diamond indenter penetrates the material, providing highly accurate and repeatable hardness readings.

• Durable and Reliable Construction: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, including the often-abrasive conditions encountered during internal inspections, ensuring consistent performance and a long operational lifespan.

• Seamless Integration: Designed to connect directly to compatible ADELIX UCI hardness testing main units, providing a complete and efficient testing solution for complex geometries.

The ADELIX Sensor UCI-P is the indispensable solution for NDT professionals and quality control engineers who require precise, reliable, and accessible hardness measurements on the internal surfaces of pipes, tanks, and other challenging, confined components.
