GE MIC 10: Advanced Electronic Hardness Testing with Real-Time Results

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.

Customizable Hardness Testing with GE MIC 10: Easy Calibration and Advanced Data Management

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.
