408E ERGO STYLE DUROMETER TYPE E
575.00
Type E: For Medium density textile windings, soft rubber, foamed elastomers, wound threads, yarn.
The PTC® Ergo Style Durometers are manufactured to meet or exceed current ASTM D2240 specifications and designed to measure the indentation hardness of soft rubber, medium density textile windings, foamed elastomers and wound threads. This durometer is similar in configuration to the durometer type commonly known as Asker C. They can also be used for soft plastics, felt, leather, and similar materials. The 408E has an aluminum die-cast case that tapers to a 1" x 1" base. It has a removable mounting knob for comfortable handheld use, a maximum reading hand, test block, and carrying case. These durometers can be used either with a test stand or as hand-held testers.

These Durometers come complete with Test Block and Carrying Case.

For unique or unusual materials that are not covered by other durometer types, PTC® recommends sending a full hardness range of your material for evaluation to determine the durometer type to match your material.

501E ANALOG e2000 DUROMETER TYPE E
575.00
Type E: For Medium density textile windings, soft rubber, foamed elastomers, wound threads, yarn.
The ultimate durometer for accurate hand held hardness measurements. PTC®'s Model 501E has a rubber grip and the 1.25" (3.2cm) diameter presser foot has a large landing area for increased stability and maximum repeatability. The durometer is built to meet or exceed current ASTM D2240 specifications for Type E durometers. The instrument uses a dial gauge with a full 360 degree scale and bold, easy to read numbers. The dial scale can easily be read to 0.2 point accuracy. A standard maximum reading hand holds the peak reading until reset. The dial has a red zone below 10 to indicate unreliable readings.

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
