Detailed Overview

A revolutionary wireless UCI hardness testing device that pairs with a mobile app for data acquisition and reporting. It allows for quick, simple hardness measurement using the UCI method on hard-to-reach or sensitive surfaces. The “Live” functionality provides instant, cloud-connected data sharing and reporting, modernizing fieldwork and streamlining the quality control workflow.

Wireless testing and instant data sharing for seamless mobile inspection and reporting.

• This system connects the UCI sensor wirelessly via Bluetooth to a dedicated mobile app on an Apple tablet or Apple smartphone, enabling real-time data acquisition and cloud-based reporting.
• It is designed to boost efficiency on site by integrating data capture, analysis, and sharing into one seamless mobile workflow.
• The core components are the wireless UCI transducer/probe, a an Apple tablet or Apple smartphone running the app (not included), a charging cable, and a transport case.
• The UCI method minimizes test impact, making it ideal for finished or sensitive surfaces where non-destructive testing (NDT) is required.

Top Features & Benefits

• Employs the UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) method in a wireless, modular device.
• Wireless probe communicates with an app on Apple devices (iOS) via Bluetooth Low Energy.
• Real-time data synchronization via Equotip Live cloud for instant collaboration and reporting.
• High degree of freedom and portability, ideal for overhead or restricted access testing.
• Interchangeable probes (HV1, HV5, HV10) for maximum application flexibility.
• Long-lasting rechargeable Li-Polymer battery (typically 40 hours).

Primary Uses & Functions

A modern portable tester to determine the hardness of material using the UCI method, often featuring wireless data sharing and immediate results. It provides hardness readings that correlate to the Vickers (HV) scale.

Real-World Applications

• Wireless portable hardness testing for fine-grained material and structures.
• Testing on heat-treated surfaces, coatings, and thin parts where a small indentation is necessary.
• Real-time sharing of measurements and reports from the field to the office or client.
• Quality control of machined components and finished products.
• Inspection of installed pipes and vessels.

Industry Solutions

• Oil & Gas (Weld and pipe hardness checking)
• Petrochemical
• Railway (Track and component integrity)
• Automotive (QC of engine parts)
• Mining
• Power Generation (Turbine blades, critical components)
• Wind & Solar
• Manufacturing (Metals fabrication and processing)

Technical Specifications

Compatibility
