FAQ

What influence does the chemical composition of a certain steel group has on the UCI measurement?

For example, will the result be different on 100Cr6, 100CrMnSi6-4 or 100CrMnMoSi8-4-6 ?

All the mentioned steel compositions have similar values of Elastic modulus (E), therefore the results will not be strongly affected...

What is UCI particularly good for?

Inspection of HAZ (Heat Affected Zones) especially used in oil and gas in industry, inspection of lighter objects where Leeb can not be used due to weight limitation, inspection of areas that can not be reached by anything...

What parameters are important when choosing the right UCI Probe?

There are several important parameters that shall be taken into account when selecting the UCI probe:

Minimum thickness of the object
If a coating is tested, then also the minimum thickness of the “coating“ which...

What is the most used Load?

The HV5 (5kgf, 49.05 N) load is the most commonly used, especially within the Oil and Gas industry.


How to extend the UCI Probe's longevity?
  • NEVER impact the surface with the probe, it may damage the diamond tip
  • NEVER slide the probe along the surface after initiating a penetration, it may damage the diamond tip
  • Regular service and verification in service...
