Used SHORE 70863 #9296834 for sale

SHORE 70863 is designed for testing and measuring the hardness of materials such as rubber, elastomers, plastics, and other non-metallic materials. 70863 is a hand held durometer instrument designed to give reliable and accurate readings of the hardness of a material. This durometer instrument operates on SHORE A and SHORE D scale and is compensated electronically for changes in ambient temperature. SHORE 70863 measures the penetration of an indentor tip, on the material being tested, and translates this reading into a measurement of hardness. The indentor tip is designed to be pressed against the material being tested, with pressure applied either manually or with the aid of a foot pedal, and the reading is displayed on a digital readout scale. The durometer is precision machined to a high standard and is accurate to ±0.5 SHORE A. 70863 encompasses all the features of the previous instrument while providing several enhancements. New features of SHORE 70863 include a larger indentor tip for improved performance, a pistol grip for ease of use, and an adjustable guard for greater control while testing. This durometer is also now calibrated electronically for improved performance, and may be used in both laboratory and company floor testing environments. The accompanying components of 70863 are as follows; a padded carry case for the instrument, a 5mm stainless steel indentor tip for faster readings, and a set of 12 inserts which are used to protect the reading surface of the material being tested. Also included is a slip-cable attachment for the foot pedal, a 2.5M power cable, and digital readout stand. All components are housed neatly in the durable carrying case and are designed to offer optimal operational safety. SHORE 70863 durometer is powered by 9-36Vdc and is capable of programmable test parameters which can be set to pre-determined values. Parameters include pre-set time duration and applied pressure, and are used to simplify the test procedure. 70863 is tested in accordance to ASTM D-2240, and is certified to meet the requirements of this standard. SHORE 70863 durometer is ideal for laboratory or production testing of silicone rubber and various other elastomeric and non-metallic materials, offering reliable and accurate results with ease of use. With its high quality construction, user friendly operation, and robust performance, 70863 represents the latest in durometer testing technologies.
