SHORE PORTABLE HARDNESS TESTER

Portable Hardness Tester for plastic and rubber

SHORE

Portable Hardness tester Shore, for rubbers and plastics

Shore A – B – C – D – D0 – 0 – 00 – E – M – 000 – 000S

Portable hardness tester Shore is in compliance with ASTM 2240, ASTM 1414, ISO 7619 and ISO 868 standards. The AFFRI Shore hardness tester has a slim measuring nose to ensure exact measurement also on small components. It is suitable for Shore hardness test on tires, rolls, soft flexible rubber, plastic, PVC, polyester, neoprene, leather, Thiokol, nitrile rubbers, etc.

BENCH-TOP stand support:

Bench stand support for extremely precise hardness testing. The force is applied perpendicularly to the sample surface with high stability at any dwell time.
The constant pressure from the top assures a very accurate measurement. Very easy mounting of the probe on the stand support, just screw-unscrew. Supplementary weight for Shore C-D-DO are available.

HIGH QUALITY FOR LASTING RELIABILITY

  • 100% made in Italy
  • Tungsten carbide indenter to guarantee maximum efficiency over the time
  • Robust and resistant in every test condition
  • R&R high performance
  • Designed, assembled and calibrated by ten years experience hands
  • Second pointer available for automatic save of the measurement result
  • Set of six plastic or rubber test blocks available, from soft to hard, with accredited certificate.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It is extremely easy to use: just push the probe on the surface of the sample, wait some seconds (dwell time) and read the hardness value!
