The Shore Durometer is one of the modern non-destructive testing instruments for measuring the hardness value of different materials at the workshops and laboratory. The device can be used at the radio instruments industry, mechanical engineering and others of modern industry. To determine the hardness of the rubber or elastomers, the most common and most frequent test is performed by measuring the strength of the rubber material at the penetration of a ball or a tip. There is no relationship between hardness and other mechanical properties as normally happen with steels. Harder does not mean, for example, greater tensile strength. Materials with the same hardness can be completely different. The principle of determining the hardness value of materials is based on the calculation the value of material’s resistance to the penetration of the indenter with a preset load. This pocket sized digital durometer with round shape and large LCD display. This Shore A Hardness Meter is suitable for measuring low hardness things, such as rubber, leather, wax, soft plastic, printed circuit boards, glass, elastomers, fibers, soft rubber, resin, neoprin, butyl, silicone, vinyl are typical controlled materials for Shore Durometer. The tester is featured with wide measuring range from 0 to 100 HA, and it has data hold function and zero button for self-calibration.
