PCE-A (Shore A)
hardness testea
mechanical
device for measuring the hardness of
soft rubber and plastic
|
|
The PCE-A hardness tester is a standard
model for measuring the hardness of
rubber (Shore A). The hardness tester is
composed of a device with a pressure pin
and a 360° anti-glare dial with an
accuracy to within 0.5 hardness units.
Meets standards DIN 53505, ISO 868, ISO
7619 and ASTM D 2240. The hardness
tester comes calibrated and ISO
certified. The device can be
recalibrated at any time with an ISO
calibration certificate included (at
additional cost).
Optional accessories offered for the
PCE-A are a test position and a test
control device to test the accuracy of
the device on the job. You will always
obtain the best results when measuring
the hardness of rubber both in accuracy
and repeatability especially when doing
random testing for product control when
combined with the test position.
At the following link you will find an
explanation of the
process for measuring hardness.

Optional accessories
- Control test
Using the type-A test control
shows if the hardness tester will
operate within a specified tolerance.
These tests are used in production
as well as reasearch and development.
In the box you will find seven tests.
The tests are identified by a series
of numbers to ensure that they are
not misidentified. The range of
hardness of type-A is 30 to 90. The
tests serve as a reference check of
the optimal state of operation of
the hardness tester.
The hardness tester must never
be recalibrated during the control
tests.
Dimensions: approx. 54 x 54 x 8mm (test). |

- Test
position
The test position of the OS-2
hardness tester has been deisgned to
test in series, to obtain the most
accurate results. Errors produced by
subjective measurements affected by
an erroneous force of measurement or
by a non-vertical measurement can be
excluded.
The test is done on a test
table and the hardness tester goes
down with a constant test force -
with the help of a lever. The result
is shown on the hardness tester
itself. The device is made of
aluminium. It can adjusted to
measure components of different
makes.

Calibration certificate
The PCE-A hardness tester comes
calibrated from the factory and
includes an ISO calibration
certificate
Over time and with general use
of the device, deviations in results
can be produced. We can perform a
laboratory recalibration at anytime
as well as an ISO certification. |
