The HPE Type M/AM Digital Micro Shore Durometer is ideal for accurate, repeatable hardness readings on soft elastomers too thin or too irregular in shape for standard Durometers. The HPE Type M/AM Durometer accurately measures specimens down to 1.25 mm. The unique design minimizes material deformation. Test method conforms to ASTM D 2240-00 (Type M) and ISO 7619 (Type AM)
Qualitest’s line of digital durometers revolutionizes durometer hardness testing by utilizing state-of-the-art technology. A highly accurate force and displacement measuring system assures consistent results with accuracy and repeatability.
Qualitest’s Type M/AM Micro-Shore test system are type M (ASTM) and Type AM (ISO) durometers that are designed to test elastomer specimens with a cross sectional thickness up to 8mm (0.275 in). The hardness values given by this instrument differ from those produced by a type. A durometer. Due to the light load applied to the indenter, testing with this instrument will not indicate the cold flow or creep characteristics of the material you test. Only minimal application pressure is required to attain full scale readings. This allows the user the ability of testing production pieces rather than test slabs, which rarely reflect the actual hardness values of the finished product.
