With its advanced UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) technology, it delivers precise results directly on site and is especially suitable for applications where traditional methods are impractical or too invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003eThe principle of operation is based on a vibrating rod with a Vickers indenter. When pressed onto the sample with a defined test force, the resonance frequency of the rod changes depending on the indentation made. This frequency shift is automatically matched with the correct Vickers hardness value. The process allows reliable hardness testing with only microscopic marks left on the material surface, making it almost non-destructive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1081\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003eThe HO 10K is highly versatile and can be used on small forgings, weld seams, castings, gears, ball bearings, and other heat-treated components. It offers several advantages compared to conventional testing methods: unlike Rockwell and Brinell, it requires only minimal indentation; unlike Vickers, it does not depend on complex optical evaluation; and compared to Leeb testers, it is less restricted by sample weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003eThis device complies with DIN 50159-1, ASTM-A1038-2005, and JB\/T9377-2013. It features memory storage for up to 1000 groups of readings, quick statistical functions, and calibration for up to 20 reference values, making it ready to use across different materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1795\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"2225\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1817\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1817\"\u003eTest force: 100 N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003eDrive type: manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003eHardness scales: HL, HV, HB, HRB, HRC, HRA, MPa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"1956\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"1956\"\u003eRockwell ranges: A 61–85.6 HRA, B 41–100 HRB, C 20.3–68 HRC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"1985\"\u003eBrinell range: 79–618 HB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2020\"\u003eTensile strength: 255–2180 MPa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2055\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2023\" data-end=\"2055\"\u003eMinimum sample thickness: 2 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003eMinimum weight: 300 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2123\"\u003eMemory: 1000 groups, 20 readings each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2124\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003eInterfaces: USB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003eMeasuring probe: 15.5 cm length, 18 mm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2225\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2198\" data-end=\"2225\"\u003eHousing: metal, lacquered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/5105\/6463\/files\/SL_HO_10K_brochure.pdf?v=1758972054\"\u003eBrochure\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/zentra-eu.com\/pages\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCertifications\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/5105\/6463\/files\/TD_HO_10K_data_page-0001.jpg?v=1758972010\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px; height:auto; display:block; margin:0 auto;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/5105\/6463\/files\/TD_HO_10K_data_page-0002.jpg?v=1758972010\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px; height:auto; display:block; margin:0 auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e**All our products are brand new, shipped in the original packaging, and include manufacturer warranty**\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kern \u0026 Sohn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56022528360783,"sku":"HO-10K","price":5977.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/5105\/6463\/files\/HO-1K.jpg?v=1758969436","url":"https:\/\/zentra-eu.com\/en\/products\/kern-uci-hardness-tester-ho-10k","provider":"Zentra ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
