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 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...
