BAQ alphaDUR mini II
BAQ alphaDUR mini II UCI Hardness Tester is the fourth generation of the alphaDUR series, which has been successful for many years.
The operation of the alphaDUR II mini is very easy because all information is shown on the large LCD display. Hardness scale and material can quickly be changed by special keys.
Due to the UCI measuring method (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) measurements can be done fast and accurate and independent of direction. The measured value is displayed directly after the test load has been applied. A test load between 0.3 (HV 0.3) and 10 kg (HV 10) can be chosen depending on the application and the sample surface.
