Hardness measurement

Advanced features for demanding applications.

• Impact (rebound) sensor: The bounce module is accelerated by a spring against the item being tested. Depending on how hard the object is, the kinetic energy of the module will be absorbed. The speed reduction will be measured and converted to Leeb hardness values.
• External impact sensor (Type D) included
• Automatic recognition of the impact (rebound) sensor connected to the HMM
• Mobility: In comparison with stationary table-top devices and testing devices with an internal sensor, using the HMM offers the highest level of mobility and flexibility
• All measurement directions possible (360°) thanks to an automatic compensation function
• Standard block for calibration included (approx. 790 ± 40 HL)
• Internal memory for up to 9 data groups, with up to 9 values per group forming the average value of the group
• Mini statistics function: displays the measured result, the average value, the impact direction, date and time
• Measurement value display: Rockwell (B & C), Vickers (HV), Brinell (HB), Shore (HSD), Leeb (HL), tensile strength (MPa)
• Automatic unit conversion: The measuring result is automatically converted into all specified hardness units
• Delivered in a hard carrying case
• Wireless IR printer included for on-site printing of measurement protocols (battery operated)

Shore hardness testers for hardness determination of plastics through penetration measurement

• Typical application: Measurement of penetration depth (Shore).
• Material thickness of the sample, min. 4 mm
• Particularly recommended for internal comparison measurement. Standard calibrations e. g. to DIN 53505 are not possible because of very narrow standard tolerances
• Can be attached to the test stands TI-AC (for Shore A and Shore A0) and TI-D (for Shore D)

Shore A for rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, vinyl, soft plastics, felt, leather and similar materials
Shore A0 for foams, sponges
Shore D for plastics, synthetic resin, Resopal^®, epoxides, Plexiglas^® etc.
Compact handheld durometer for plastics with digital display.

• Large display with backlight
• Selectable: AUTO-OFF function or continuous operation, charge indicator
• Delivered in a hard carrying case

Specifications
Precision:	1 % of max. measuring value
Dimensions (W x D x H):	162 x 65 x 38 mm
Net weight:	173 g
