ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Berg Engineering & Sales, Company Inc., specializing in nondestructive and material testing equipment since 1969, has launched sales of the latest innovative digital UCI hardness tester, the SonoDur3. The SonoDur3 by NewSonic represents the cutting edge of portable hardness testing technology. The SonoDur 3 uses Ultrasonic Contact Impedance Technology to deliver instant and reliable hardness results on difficult to reach surfaces. It is a 3rd generation tool that is built on the successes of previous models and is backward compatible with all previous SonoDur generation stands and probes.

The SonoDur 3 works with a suite of over 18 different probes with test forces ranging from 1N to 98N, making it the most universal UCI hardness testing solution available. Along with the latest OS system, it allows for simple downloads and statistical data management. SonoDur 3 is a natural replacement for the now discontinued MIC 10 and MIC 20 UCI hardness testers. The new system makes the transition seamless with an intuitive interface and touchscreen as well as with the latest available technologies in storage and wireless data transfer.

According to Stephen Berg, CEO of Berg Engineering, "Simply put, with the launch of the SonoDur 3, NewSonic took the best, reliable UCI hardness testers in the MIC 10 and MIC 20 and made them better."

Using rapid hardness measurements via a 136° Vickers diamond, the SonoDur 3 will help you assess whether or not your parts meet your hardness quality assurance standards.
