Description

General description

Shore Durometers provide a fast and convenient method of measuring the hardness of rubbers, plastics, leather and other soft materials.
Manufactured to comply with ASTM D2240 and DIN53505.
Strong portable design.
Complete with swing away indenter protection plate.
Supplied in fitted case complete with check block.
Specimen size should allow measurement to be taken at least 12mm from any edge
The specimen surface should be flat and parallel to allow the presser foot to contact its surface over an area which has a minimum radius of 6mm from the Durometer’s indenter
The specimen may be contructed with layered pieces to achieve the necessary thickness requirement. Measurements taken this way may not agree with those taken on solid pieces, due to the surface faces between layers not being in complete contact.
