HT-6510A Digital Hardness Durometer

A pocket size digital durometer with integrated or built-in probe. The resistance toward the indentation of materials that range from rubber, elastomers and other rubber like substances are measured quickly and effectively with this precision perfect instrument. It measures the depth of an indentation in the material created by a given force on a standardized presser foot and is capable of producing a value from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating a harder material. A durometer testing equipment type A is fully equipped with an indenting foot of hardened steel rod 1.1 mm – 1.4 mm diameter with a truncated 35° cone, 0.79 mm dimeter. The results obtained from this test are a useful measure of relative resistance to indentation of various grades of polymers, elastomers and rubbers.

It canmeasure the penetration hardness of soft rubber, elastomers and other rubber like substances such as neoprene, silicon, vinyl, nitrile, butyl, soft plastics, felt, leather, waxes, printing rollers and similar materials.

It is recommended that measurements be made with the type D durometer when the value is above 90 HA, and with a type A durometer when the value is less than 10 HD.

With INTEGRATED (built-in) PROBE and designed to determine the penetration hardness of rubber, elastomers and other rubber like substance such as neoprene, silicone, vinyl and can also be used for soft plastics, felt, leather and similar materials.
Equipped with wide measuring range and high resolution
Conforms with the essential health and safety requirements set out by the European Directives along with ISO-7619 and ISO-868, DIN53505, ASTM D 2240, and JIS K7215 set standards.
Uses Microcomputer LSI circuit and crystal time base to offer high accuracy measurement & fast measuring time.
Uses operation stand capable of applying the specimen to the indentor with sufficient recommended force that allows accurate and repeatable hardness tests to increased stability and maximum repeatability.
Automatically switch off after about 2 minutes and also gives you the freedom to manually switch it off anytime to conserves batteries.
Delivers ultra accurate reading with no guessing errors.
Features instant, easy to read, legibly written results indicating a specific value, with a 0.1 resolution.
Complete with FREE sturdy carrying case with contoured rubber compartments that fits the device perfectly, sandwiched between rubber & foam when closed to achieve optimum shock absorption.
