Durometers
The durometers that you will find on our website are used for determining surface hardness. We have a selection of durometers for determining the hardness of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, etc. These Hardness testers measure the hardness in Rockwell B, Rockwell C, Vickers HV, Brinell HB, Shore, HS, Leeb HL or in hardness units (DIN ISO). These devices are especially practical in areas of production, quality control and technical service due to their portability. One advantage of digital durometers is the internal rechargeable battery found in model PCE-1000. This device with integrated refraction impact offers the advantage of taking measurements without the use of cables that can interfere during a measurement. With it you can take the same measurements with the minimum amount of force but with the same level of accuracy. The measurement principle of these instruments is always the same, the only distinction is between the static and dynamic processes of the hardness measurement (explanation of both processes for taking a measurement of hardness). With Hardness testers for metallic materials you can quickly and accurately test the surface hardness of steel, cast iron, steel for tools, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper and bronze. There are other devices that are used for determining the hardness of rubber, plastic or textiles and are available as either digital or analogue devices. If you can't find the durometers you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 (0)2380 987030 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments. Our engineers and technicians will be happy to help you with the handheld devices, and of course, with the other products in the field of regulation and control, and scales and balances.
