Mechanical Hardness tester 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.
