Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Portable Tester Selector work?
It guides you through two quick questions about your application and surface condition. Based on your answers, it recommends the most compatible test method and portable tester from our catalog.
What’s the difference between Leeb and UCI testers?
Leeb testers are ideal for large, flat parts and use rebound impact. UCI testers are better for thinner, polished, or precision components and use ultrasonic contact impedance.
Can I test castings or rough surfaces?
Yes. For rough or cast surfaces, we recommend Leeb G testers like the PHT-1750, which are built to handle high mass and coarse finishes.
What if I’m still not sure which model to choose?
The selector gives you a starting point. If your needs are more complex or you need certification, contact us and we’ll help match the right tester to your process.
