Instruments for Measuring the hardness of plastic and rubber materials

Indispensable tools for measuring the hardness of non-metallic materials, used both in the mechanical industry and in the food sector, but also in the coatings sector. They are also called Shore durometers, a name due to the measurement scale used.

Thanks to the use of an indenter, which can be of different types, portable hardness testers for plastic, rubber and derivatives, it is possible to know the precise hardness in just a few seconds. The digital version also allows you to consult the data in real time on a large backlit display, but at the same time it can be integrated with an accessory capable of transferring the parameters to a PC.

What are the most used "Shore" ladders that comply with current regulations?

  • Shore A measuring scale. For measuring soft rubber, natural rubber derivatives, elastomers, neoprene, polyester, silicone, vinyl, soft plastics, felt, leather and similar materials.
  • Shore C/0 measurement scale. Soft materials such as foam rubber and sponge.
  • Shore D measurement scale. Hard rubber, synthetic materials, fibreglass, plastic, Formica, epoxy resins, plexiglass.
