The GE MIC 10 is a portable hardness tester using ultrasonic contact impedance (UCI) technology. It is designed for non-destructive testing of metals and provides reliable hardness measurements with high precision.
The MIC 10 is ideal for testing in production environments and quality control, offering fast and accurate results for various materials.

The GE MIC 10 is a compact tool that allows for quick and convenient, on-site hardness testing virtually anywhere.
Unlike traditional optical evaluation with conventional hardness testers, the MIC 10 electronically measures the material’s surface and instantly displays the results. Measurements can be made
on various materials, objects with various shapes and sizes, and even heat treated surfaces.
Erroneous single values can also be edited without interrupting the measurement process. Keep your inspection on track with adjustable visual and audible alarms when reaching critical measurement values.
The GE MIC 10 is automatically calibrated for low and non-alloyed steel materials, but can easily be re-calibrated for other materials. The instrument operation can just as easily be customized
for application-specific hardness testing requirements, allowing the inspector to reduce key presses by disabling unnecessary functions and simplifying operations. The narrow probes also give the inspector access to difficult to reach areas.
In addition to the internal storage included on the MIC 10, instrument settings and calibrations can also be stored on a memory card and automatically recalled when measuring specific materials.
Expand your capabilities using the UltraHARD software to make further data processing such as evaluations, statistics, and documentation.
