Digital Micro Shore Durometer HPE Type M/AM

Digital Micro Shore Durometer HPE Type M/AM

Parent Product
Durometer - Shore Hardness Tester
Test Application
Rubber Testing
Standards
ASTM D2240
ISO 7619

Best Application: Durometer - Shore Hardness Tester

Applications

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.

Features/Advantages
  • High resolution display with  and large easy to read numbers
  • Ergonomically designed. Comfortable hand positioning,
  • engineered with the operator in mind
  • The measured data storage allows you to save up to 300 results for recall or print. The results will be saved automatically after the measurement is done. As soon as there are results in the storage, the display will show "M". If there are 295 results saved, the "M" will flash to inform the user that the memory is nearly full. From 301 results on, the first result will be deleted automatically.
  • RS 232
  • Measuring time 1 - 99 sec.
  • Device including power supply 100 - 220 VAC; 50/60 Hz
  • Type AM = ISO 7619
  • This standard is more exactly than ASTM
  • Type M  = ASTM D 2240
  • Motor- driven lowering device, which guarantees a down speed of max. 3,2 sec. per mm
