Accurate Shore Durometer Systems for Type A and Type D Hardness
How to Choose the Right Shore Durometer System for Your Needs
It is crucial to use a reliable shore durometer system when assessing a material’s hardness. With sturdy, simple-to-use, and ergonomic equipment, NextGen Material Testing specializes in precise shore durometer systems for plastics and rubbers.
Portable Shore A Durometer
The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) DD2240 specifications for measuring Type A hardness include materials like rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, vinyl, butyl, and some soft plastics, felt. Leather, among others, is met or exceeded by the Model 306L Shore A Portable Durometer – Classic Style. This particular model of portable shore durometer systems includes a point dial that is simple to read and low in glare. If needed, it is also available with A2LA/NIST certification.
The Model 306L.5 Shore A Portable Durometer System has all the features of the 306L model and measures to an accuracy of 1/2 point. These Shore A durometer systems allow accurate readings from any angle.
Portable durometer Shore D
The Model 307L Shore D Portable Durometer evaluates the hardness of hard rubber, plastics, epoxies, soft metals, and other materials. It complies with or exceeds ASTM D2240 requirements for Type D materials.
This model is a reliable shore durometer system with a 1-point accuracy and the option of NIST certification. The dial is simple and low-glare, with a 0 to 100-point range.
