Hand-Press Hardness Tester

The hand-held durometer drives the indenter vertically into the material surface via a spring and calculates the hardness value based on the penetration depth. It is used for rapid testing of the surface hardness of soft materials such as plastics and rubber, making it suitable for on-site quick inspections.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the material's hardness range with the instrument's measurement range, ensure the indenter size is suitable for the shape of the test object, verify the validity of the instrument's calibration certificate, ensure the shell material is compatible with the usage environment conditions, and confirm that the operating force complies with the testing standard requirements.
