Durometer Hardness Tester GS series – corresponding to ISO and JIS standards of rubber hardness measurement by MSP Metrology (M) Sdn Bhd from Teclock Japan

Description

---

 

Hardness Test of Vulcanized or Thermoplastic Rubber

---

This is Durometer to comply with JIS K 6253 (new JIS) standard established in 1993 for the purpose of conforming to ISO (International Standard Organization). Durometrers consist of 3 types namely, Type A for medium hardness, Type D for high hardness and Type E for low hardness. Type A tends to indicates higher value by 1~2 points compared with former Type A durometers. Type D is suitable for hard rubber having more than 90 hardness measured by type A durometer and Type E is suitable for soft rubber of which hardness is 20 and below measured by Type A durometers.

Deep Hole / Long Leg Type

---

In some cases, such as the measurement surface of uneven or with a narrow flat area and the bottom of deep hollow, it may be impossible to achieve the proper results because of the difficult contact of the presser foot. The Deep Hole (H) type and the Long Leg (L) type make such measurements possible with a small or long presser foot. Both are supplied with Peak Pointer and the upper/lower limiters. The Long Leg type meets also to DIN 53505 standard.

Durometers for Hardness Test of Plastic

---

This standard is prescribed by plastic industry in Japan apart from testing method of hardness of rubber. This is basically equal to Durometer of JIS K 6253, as only its round up method of spring load value etc. is different. But we distinguish model name as another Durometer according to the view of conformity to standard.

Thermosetting Polyurethane Estolamer Moldings Physical Test

---

Standard about physical test method of polyurethane Elastomer. One of the test items is hardness test and rubber industry generally calls type A durometer “shore-A” and type D durometer “shore- D”. In addition, type C for low hardness range is called ASKER and GS-701N(G) is the same product ASKER-C. It complies with hardness test of JIS S 6050 “Plastic eraser ”. Furthermore, SRIS 0101 (ex Society of Rubber Industry, Japan standard of Measure) which was the base of these standard was already discontinued, but only type name is remained.

TECLOCK Original Standard Durometer

---

This is available as TECLOCK original standard based on customers’ requirement, even though they are not prescribed in JIS or ISO. Type E 2 durometer for soft rubber with around half of spring load value of Type E, and Type FO to measure hardness of polystyrene sponge for the level of sponge for washing dishes are available.

Simplified Micro-hardness Tester for Thin Sheet Hardness

---

This is simplified micro-hardness tester which measures hardness of thin sheet such as rubber and Estolamer. Height of indentor is 1mm that is 1per 2.5 of that of normal durometer. It is effective for dispersiveness of sheet hardness and its relative comparison. It is original standard of Teclock and designed so as to obtain the value similar to type A durometer.
