202C PENCIL DUROMETER TYPE C
575.00
Type C: For Medium hard rubber, Elastomers, and 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 rubber, elastomers, and other rubberlike substances such as neoprene, silicone, vinyl, nitrile and butyl. The 360° dial features bold, easy to read numbers indicating a specific value, with a 0.2 resolution. A standard 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 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.

502C ANALOG e2000 DUROMETER TYPE C
575.00
Type C: For For Medium Hard Rubber and Plastics
The ultimate durometer for accurate hand held hardness measurements. The PTC® e2000 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. The dial has a red zone to indicate unreliable readings. A magnetic max hand holds the peak reading until reset. The durometer's 1.25" (3.2cm) diameter presser foot was designed for increased stability and maximum repeatability. Readings below 10/D may be inexact and should be measured with a type A.

PTC®' digital durometers come complete with test block , carrying case and NIST traceable certificate from PTC Metrology™. ASTM "R" Base Size Specific Durometer Any e2000 Millennium Style Durometer can be made as an "R" designation. The "R" designation specifies a presser foot diameter of 18 ± 0.5mm (0.71 ± 0.02in) in diameter, while the spring forces and indenter configurations remain the same. Please specify the "R" Type when ordering. US Patent D436,874
