Accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z-5401

Certified Digital Durometers Model 212C Type C
All PTC Durometers are Made in the USA

Type C: Medium hard rubber, elastomers, and thermoplastics.

The PTC® Digital 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 LCD digital display features bold, easy to read numbers indicating a specific value, with a 0.1 resolution. A standard electronic maximum hold button 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 Digital Durometer Software allows the users to automatically collect, record, and print test data, create statistical data including tolerance, range, mean, variance, standard deviation in graph format and several languages. The software interfaces with the Digital Durometer through the provided RS-232 cable.

Manufactured by PTC Instruments

Certified by PTC Metrology
Accredited Lab
PTC Metrology is Accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 for durometer calibration. NIST traceable certification is available for any durometer type covered by current ASTM D2440, ASTM F1957, ISO 868, ISO 7619, or DIN 53505 standards. The Calibration Report will include both "as received" and "as left" data on the force curve measurement. Durometer calibration includes: indenter geometry and extension, indicator linearity from 0 to 100, and mainspring force. Other durometer types, custom models, and durometers of any manufacture can also be certified by PTC Metrology.
