Type D: For hard rubber and plastics Analog Pencil Style
The PTC® Analog Pencil Style Durometers are manufactured to meet or exceed current ASTM D2240 specifications and designed to measure the indentation hardness of hard rubber, plastics, and substances such as acrylic, delrin, kevlar, pvc, nylon and lexan. The 360° dial display features bold, easy to read numbers indicating a specific value, with a 0.2 resolution. A magnetic max hand retains the peak reading until reset. The durometer's 1/2" diameter base (1.3cm) is the smallest base permitted by ASTM specifications. This allows it to be used in confined or hard to reach areas other durometers cannot test. The dial has a red zone to indicate unreliable readings. Readings below 10/D may be inexact and should be measured with a type A Durometer. See 201
Test Stands are available for increased accuracy, and speed of operation. |
