PCE-DX-AS Shore A
hardness tester
mechanical device for
measuring hardness of soft
elastomer,
with drag needle
for an accurate measurement
of peak value
The PCE-DX-AS hardness
tester is used for measuring
surface hardness (shore A)
of hard rubbers and soft
plastics. The shore hardness
tester is composed of a
single component with a
measuring head and a 360º
dial. The
device can be calibrated
with the calibration
standard when required, and
can be ISO calibrated and
certified as an optional
accessory at extra cost. To
improve the readability of
peak value, the device comes
with a drag needle, that
ensures the maximum reading
can be captured. Once it has
been measured, it can be
reset to zero. With the PCE-DX-AS (A)
model of hardness tester,
you will always obtain the
most accurate value of
maximum pressure and also be
able to accurately reproduce
this value.
The following link gives an
explanation
of the process for measuring
hardness. You can also
see a classification of the
different grades of hardness
here. This
link
shows an overview of all the
hardness testers we have
available.
