Digital Shore Durometer | 0 to 100 HA, HC or HD | 0.5 Resolution

This handheld digital Shore durometer measures the hardness of rubber, plastics and foam on a 0 to 100 scale with 0.5 resolution, and shows the result on an LCD in about 1 second. It comes in three versions: Shore A (0 to 100 HA), Shore C (0 to 100 HC) and Shore D (0 to 100 HD), each with its own alloy probe, so you pick the scale that matches the material on your bench. Features and benefits: - Three scales to choose from: A for medium hardness rubber, plastics, leather and wax, C for foam, sponge and shoes, D for hard rubber and plastics - 0.5 resolution across the 0 to 100 range, fine enough to tell close batches of material apart - About 1 second response time, so a reading is on screen almost as soon as the foot sits flat - H data hold key locks the figure so you can lift the tester off the sample and read it at leisure - ON/OFF and ZERO keys on the case, with a 41 x 19mm LCD that can be read from any angle - Alloy probe with 18mm diameter pressure foot and 0 to 2.5mm needle stroke, built for repeated use in the workshop - Runs on a 1.5V button battery; blinking digits warn that power is low Applications: - Goods-in checks on rubber seals, gaskets, hoses and O-rings - Comparing plastic and hard rubber parts against a hardness spec - Testing foam, sponge, microcellular material and shoe soles with the C scale - Teaching materials hardness in school and college labs In the box: 1 x hardness tester and 1 x instruction manual. Option chosen sets the scale: 0-100HA, 0-100HC or 0-100HD. Note: The sample should be thicker than 6mm for a valid reading. As a rough guide, press a ballpoint pen into the material with about 1kg of force: if it leaves an indentation use the A type, if not use the D type, and use the C type for foamed materials.
