This digital Shore durometer reads hardness on a 0 to 100 scale, with a choice of Shore A (HA), Shore D (HD) or Shore C (HC) versions and a resolution of 0.5 on each. It is a digital durometer with an LCD and H (data hold), OFF/ON and ZERO buttons.
Features and benefits:
- Three scale versions: HA for low and medium hardness materials such as rubber and synthetic rubber, HD for hard rubber, hard plastic, glass and other high hardness materials, HC for foam, soft rubber and other low hardness materials
- Measuring range of 0 to 100 on the scale you choose, with 0.5 resolution on the digital display
- LCD display of 17.5 x 40mm
- H button for data hold, ZERO button and OFF/ON button
- Data output port and a coupling nut that connects to a hardness meter bracket
- Body measures 85.5 x 57.5 x 27mm
- Supplied in a red plastic carrying case with a CR2032 3V button cell
Applications:
- Checking the hardness of rubber and synthetic rubber
- Comparing hardness of hard rubber and plastic parts in a workshop
- Checking soft rubber and foam
In the box:
1 x digital Shore durometer (HA, HD or HC as selected), 1 x red plastic carrying case, 1 x CR2032 3V lithium battery.
Note: Pick the scale to suit the material: the A-flat probe is described for low and medium hardness materials, the D-tip probe for high hardness materials and the C-round head for low hardness materials. Operating temperature is 0 to 40°C.

A: A Shore durometer is a hardness tester that gives a hardness number on a 0 to 100 scale. This digital version reads out on an LCD with 0.5 resolution.. Q: What is the difference between Shore A, Shore D and Shore C? A: The letters name different scales and probe types. HA suits rubber and synthetic rubber, HD suits hard rubber, hard plastic and other high hardness materials, and HC suits foam, soft rubber and other low hardness materials.. Q: Which durometer do I need for rubber? A: For low and medium hardness rubber and synthetic rubber the HA version with its A-flat probe is the one described for that job. Hard rubber is matched to the HD version with its D-tip probe.. Q: What battery does the digital durometer use? A: It runs on one CR2032 3V button cell, and a CR2032 lithium battery is included in the box.. Q: Can this durometer be mounted on a stand? A: It has a coupling nut that connects to a hardness meter bracket, and a data output port is fitted..
