Qualitest offers Digital Hardness Tester HPE III which provides significant test data for the use in laboratory or field.

Companies that develop or use the products made of soft elastic materials product have usually a laboratory in which the products and raw material are regularly tested according to the standard.

Applications

Companies that develop or use the products made of soft elastic materials produce, have usually a laboratory in which the products and raw material are regularly tested according to the standard. 

What happens to the hardness property when the product leaves the laboratory and in real use?

Here, HPE III comes to requirement, a new generation Hardness tester with temperature indication for specimen and environment. HPE III provides significant test data for the material use in laboratory or field

Features/Advantages

Key Features

  • The HPE III housing is made of aluminum alloy which provides robust structure and light weight
  • Both rubber and plastic are prone to change their properties due to the temperature change. To help you better understand how temperature could influence the hardness of your specimen, the HPE III is equipped with two thermocouples for delivering information of your specimen temperature and the environmental temperature and humidity.
  • Equipped with 2 temperature sensors with 1 for measuring the specimen temperature and the other for the environmental temperature as well as humidity.
  • Minimizing user error by minimizing incorrect measuring angle and ensuring the right force is applied. - One of the most common mistakes to make when a measuring is taken place is the angle of approach. The HPE III has a large hand grip to assist the user to approach the specimen perpendicularly. The special mechanism inside the hand grip delivers an exact amount of load (Shore A = 1kg / Shore D = 5 kg) required as when the presser foot gets into a full contact with the specimen.
  • Navigate all functions through a touch of your thumb. The new HPE III is designed for one-handed operation.
  • Serial interface and PC cable.

HPE III Display

  • A large screen with 102 x 64 pixels with selectable information to display
  • On the HPE III display, not only you get a view of the hardness value, additional information such as the environmental temperature / humidity specimen temperature, date/time, no. of measurements are all at a glance. Another breakthrough is that all previous measurements are viewable directly on the display and transferrable by USB and RS232.
  • The HPE III is designed to provide great usability. Simply with a touch of your thumb, you can navigate through all functions on the screen while your hand has a firm grip on the lower section of the device. It is a truly one-handed operation durometer.
