The range of durometers is widely used to test the hardness of soft materials. The instrument can be either hand held or fitted to an optional stand for increased repeatability. The range of Shore Durometers encompasses a number of hardness values.
ASTM D 2240, BS 7442-3.2, DIN 53505, FIAT 50411, ISO 868, ISO 7267-2, NF T51-123. Supply with: Shore Durometer, operating instructions, Check Piece.
A round point indents the material under a fixed force spring and the hardness is displayed on the dial in Shore Hardness Units.
Range : 0 to 100 Shore
Resolution : 2 Shore.
Indenter : Truncated cone
Model : SHRT - I
A round point indents the material under a fixed force spring and the hardness is displayed on the dial in Shore Hardness Units.
Range : 0 to 100 Shore
Resolution : 1 Shore
Indenter : Truncated cone
Model : DSHT - III
The spring loaded outer ring assures a constant measuring pressure and eliminates false readings due to difference between operators.
This ensures a constant pressure and prevents measuring errors
Adjustable max. indicator marks to highlight working range of the hardness tester.
Range : 0 to 100 Shore
Resolution : 1 Shore
Indenter : Truncated cone
Model : DSHT - II
A round point indents the material under a fixed force spring and the hardness is displayed on the Digital in Shore Hardness Units.
Range : 0 to 100 Shore
Resolution : 1 Shore
Indenter : Truncated cone
Operating Key : ON/ OFF& Zero./Re Set
Zero setting at any position
Power Supply : 1.5V LR 44 battery
Model : DSHT IV
The principle used to measure hardness is based on measuring the resistance force of the penetration of a pin into the test material under a known spring load. The amount of penetration (max. 2.54 mm / 0.1 in.) is converted to hardness reading on a scale with 100 units.

Specially designed Stands are used to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of both analog and digital durometer hardness tester readings by ensuring that the presser foot is exactly parallel to the specimen table. Any analog or digital durometer can be mounted on an applicable operating stand. The operating stand is primarily intended for use on a test specimen with parallel sides. Irregularly shaped objects may be tested in a nest or a fixture to make the given surface parallel to the durometer presser foot. ASTM D 2240 specifies three categories of operating stands: Type 1 are basic, manual operating stands. Type 2 is stands capable of controlling the rate of descent. Type 3 are hydraulically, pneumatically or electromechanical driven. Stands that fall into all three categories. For assistance in selecting the proper operating stand to fit your durometer.
