Type C: For medium hard rubber, elastomers, thermoplastics
The PTC® Analog Pencil Style Durometers are manufactured to meet or exceed current ASTM D2240 specifications and designed to measure the indentation hardness of medium hard rubber, elastomers and thermoplastics. The 360 dial display features bold, easy to read numbers indicating a value, with a 0.2 resolution. A standard maximum hold hand retains the peak reading until reset. The durometer's 1/2" diameter base (1.3cm) is the smallest base permitted by ASTM D2240 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.
