The Phase II MET-HV ultrasonic/dynamic portable hardness tester is capable of measuring the surface hardness of a broad variety of metals on flat, round, thin or large surfaces. Unlike the standard Dynamic hardness testers, the Phase II+ METHRC is a "state-of-the-art" portable hardness tester that incorporates "Ultrasonic UCI" technology, which enables the hardness testing of very thin and small workpieces, which otherwise could not be tested accurately using a portable device. Non-destructive in it's function, the Phase 2 MET-HV hardness tester allows for the testing of highly sensitive or finished parts that previously could not be tested in an operational setting.

The non-destructive (ndt) feature of the Phase 2+ MET-HV hardness tester also allows the operator to accurately test parts without causing physical or structural damage that would normally lead to disposal or refinish of operators part.
