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.

Direct Contact Spot Check® Thermometers

PTC®'s Spot-Check® Series of thermometers features outstanding response and sensitivity. Their extremely low thermal mass and weight (1/2 ounce), along with a unique design, assure intimate thermal contact and a very rapid readout. Each thermometer is guaranteed to an accuracy of ± 2% of the full-scale range. The instrument's bimetallic coil directly contacts the surface to be measured. In response to temperature changes, the sensor expands or contracts, causing the dial itself to rotate.

These instruments can be used to check surface temperatures quickly or can be permanently mounted. They can be used for such applications as hot plates, griddles, furnaces, annealing and curing ovens, weld preheats, motors, generators, engines, bearings, etc. Available in either Fahrenheit or Celsius models, they come in several temperature ranges, covering a total span of 0° to 1000°F (0°C to 525°C).

Two models are available with stainless steel dials that are designed for use in vacuum chambers. Models 575FMSS and 575CMSS feature dials with no paint or ceramics that could outgas. The dials are made with uncoated metals and etched to provide the temperature markings.

All Spot Check® thermometers come with a spring lifter knob to enable the user to safely remove the instrument from a heated surface. The knob is threaded and attaches to the center post of the thermometer.
