Used to measure the hardness of rubber and plastics according ASTM D2240, DIN 53505, ISO 868 and ISO 7619. Shore A scale is applicable for rubber and soft plastics whereas Shore D is for hard rubber and thermoplastics. The Shore A and Shore D mete...

Fruit hardness is the universally accepted measure of fruit ripeness. The fruit Penetrometer accurately measures fruit hardness by measuring the force required to push a plunger tip (of a certain size) into fruit and vegetables. The GY series of P...

Durometer Model HD3000 is the hand held model. The gauge features a full-sized non-reflective dial face for readability accuracy of 1/2 point. The durometer conforms to DIN 53505, ISO 868, ISO 7619 and ASTM D 2240. Model HD3000 offers maximum accu...

The Demeq QH Series hardness gauges are used to measure the hardness of metals quickly and easily making them an ideal complement to traditional bench hardness testers. Measurements are expressed in Leeb and Vickers (depending on the hardness meth...

The MICRO IRHD SYSTEM is a hardness testing machine controlled by Windows Software. The MICRO IRHD SYSTEM provides hardness readings on elastomers according to MICRO IRHD. Recommended specimen thickness is 1 to 5 mm. It complies to international s...

Most commonly used to test materials that have a structure that is too coarse or that have a surface that is too rough to be tested using another test method, e.g., castings and forgings. Brinell testing often use a very high test load (3000 Kgf) ...

The Vickers hardness test method, also referred to as a microhardness test method (ASTM E-384, E92 and ISO 6507), consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter. This indenter has the form of a pyramid with a square base and an an...

As defined in ISO 6508 & ASTM E-18, the Rockwell test is the most commonly used hardness test method. It is generally easier to perform, and quicker than other types of hardness testing methods.
The Rockwell method measures the permanent...

Universal hardness testers are in fact hybrid instruments allowing the user to make Rockwell, Vickers and Brinell hardness tests according to the applicable ISO, ASTM and JIS standards, with one single machine.
Universal hardness testers do ...
