The PTC Model 307L Durometer Shore D Classic Style is the industry standard for testing Pipeline Coatings.

Most pipeline coatings are rigid and require a Shore D Durometer, such as the PTC 307L.

<Durometer measurements are often specified in pipeline coating documents to ensure that the coating meets the required performance criteria for mechanical resistance, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance.

Please take a look at our Portable Steel Hardness Tester.

The Portable Steel Hardness Tester

Measures the hardness of metals in the range of 20 to 65 HRC on the equivalent Rockwell C Scale. The instrument is fully portable and easy to use. It can easily be carried anywhere an accurate hardness test is required.

PTC IVF Thermometers are designed for hospitals, IVF clinics, and embryology Labs.

Maintaining a steady temperature of 37°C in a stable environment improves outcomes for human oocyte and embryo development.

PTC® Industrial Rail Thermometers are designed to measure surface temperatures for continuously welded or jointed rails. These thermometers meet the criteria outlined in the AREMA specification for track maintenance.

Durometer Test Stands / Hydraulic

ASTM Type 2 Indenter to Specimen

PTC® has developed the first mechanical operating stand that delivers a load sufficient to overcome the spring force of the durometer smoothly and without shock in approximately 1 second from contact. Most other mechanical stands apply an increasing load over time which gives inconsistent and inaccurate readings. Since elastomeric materials creep over time, it is essential that the load be applied promptly.

This precisely engineered durometer stand has a hydraulic damper controlling the rate of descent smoothly, without jump or stutter. The unit is activated with a simple smooth lever control. This stand is designed for serious testing, eliminating operator variability and increased accuracy and repeatability. Whether in the lab or in a production environment you will get accurate and repeatable readings you can trust.

This heavy duty stand features a solid base for stability and a solid 1” diameter Stainless Steel Precision Ground Support Shaft for accurate alignment. It will accommodate both standard and pencil length durometers. It is made with high precision components throughout. Including ball bearings, sintered bronze bushings and precision machined components.
