Portable Hardness Testers
Professional portable hardness testing equipment using UCI and Leeb methods. Accurate measurement of metal hardness in field and laboratory conditions.
Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD3
Combined hardness tester combines two methods of measuring hardness: Ultrasonic Contact Impedance (ASTM A1038) and Leeb (ASTM A956). This makes the device the most versatile portable device as it can be.
- Small indenter imprint (suits for mirror surfaces of shafts necks blades gear teeth etc.)
- Measuring surface hardened layers hardness
- Wide range of hardness testing
- Various measurement modes
UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U3
Ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) hardness testers, offered by our company, use a vibrating rod with a diamond tip to measure metal hardness and are designed to handle tasks that cannot solve with the Leeb method.
- Hardness measurement of any mass products with a thickness more than 1 mm – inaccessible to the dynamic (Leeb) hardness testers (small parts
- thin-walled structures pipes tanks steel sheets articles of complex shape hardness control of metal coatings etc.)
- Measuring the hardness of the surface hardened layer
- Small imprint after measuring (mirror surfaces of shafts necks blades gear teeth etc.)
Leeb Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-D3
The Leeb method (ASTM A956) is the most popular for portable metal hardness testing due to its simplicity, requiring no special skills; it is ideal for large products over 5 kg and 10 mm thick, but can also measure smaller parts with proper fixing.
- Large full color graphic display with bright backlighting
- Various measurement modes: statistic graph histogram smart signal
- Calibration of any scale in any range
- Convenience and ease of measurement
Combined Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-UD2
The combined hardness tester integrates the advantages of UCI and Leeb methods, enabling users to test both large rough-surfaced products and small, complex-shaped samples, making it ideal for non-destructive metal hardness testing across various materials and scales.
- 2 removable probes: ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) and dynamic rebound (Leeb)
- There are almost no restrictions for hardness testing (by weight configuration structure degree of mechanical and thermal treatment etc.)
- To evaluate changes in the hardness of the hardened layer depth articles and the effect of surface stress
- Wide range of hardness value
UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U2
This is the most affordable UCI hardness tester, ideal for small, thin-walled, or complex-shaped products, unlike Leeb method models. With over 10 years of proven reliability, it offers the best price-quality ratio in the global market.
- Possibility of measuring the hardness value of products with any weights and thickness from 1 mm (small items thin-walled structures pipes tanks steel sheets the products of complex shape hardness control of metal coatings etc.) and from 100g.
- Small imprint on the surface of the tested product (user can test mirror surfaces necks shafts knives gear teeth etc.)
- Hardness testing the hardening layer of the surface
- Wide range of hardness measuring
Leeb Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-D2
The Leeb hardness tester compliant with ASTM A956, is the world’s most popular metal hardness testing method due to its simplicity and ease of use, requiring no special skills. It works well with low alloy steels, stainless steels, and non-ferrous metals, and is ideal for bulk products without extensive surface preparation.
- Wide range of hardness measurement
- Allows to test the products with coarse non-uniform structure (castings forgings)
- Very ease and simplicity in setup and operation
- Reasonable price (lower in comparison with the ultrasonic hardness tester)
Wireless Hardness Tester NOVOTEST Lab UCI

Hardness Testing Methods
UCI Method (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance)
High-precision method ideal for small parts, thin materials, and surface-hardened components. Measures hardness by analyzing ultrasonic frequency shift.
- Excellent for thin parts (min 1mm)
- Small test area (0.5mm diameter)
- High accuracy ±3 HV
Leeb Method (Rebound)
Fast and simple method for large components and rough surfaces. Measures hardness based on impact body rebound velocity.
- Ideal for large, heavy parts
- Quick testing in any direction
- Multiple probe options
