C-type Shore hardness Tester

The Type C Shore durometer measures hardness by pressing a spring-loaded indenter vertically into the material surface and converting the indentation depth into a hardness value. It is used to determine the hardness of soft rubber, plastics, and other materials, aiding in quality inspection to assess the softness or hardness of materials.
Selection
Select the indenter length based on the thickness of the material being tested, and choose the corresponding model according to the standard hardness range. Consider the elastic recovery characteristics of the material, as environmental temperature can affect the measurement results. Regularly calibrate the instrument using standard hardness blocks.

Shore Durometer Selection: Matching Principles of Hardness Models and Measurement Ranges
This article introduces the selection method for Shore durometers, with the core focus on ensuring that the hardness type matches the material's hardness range and rebound characteristics. When selecting, the principle that the measured value falls within 20% to 80% of the full scale should be followed to avoid data distortion.
Selection of Clean Bench: Methods for Determining Airflow Direction and Cleanliness Class
This article primarily discusses the selection methods for clean benches, focusing on two aspects: first, determining the airflow direction based on experimental requirements—vertical laminar flow is suitable for protecting the operator, while horizontal laminar flow is ideal for protecting samples; second, selecting the cleanliness level according to ISO standards, typically requiring ISO Class 5.
Rapid temperature change high and low temperature test chamber for thermal fatigue evaluation of PCB board solder joints.
This paper discusses the application of rapid temperature change high and low temperature test chambers in evaluating the thermal fatigue of PCB board solder joints. Solder joint fatigue is primarily caused by differences in material thermal expansion, and the test chamber simulates thermal stress through temperature cycling to accelerate the fatigue process.

DSC analyzer measures the glass transition of degradable films.
This article explains how to use a differential scanning calorimeter to measure the glass transition temperature of a degradable film. It first clarifies that the glass transition is the process by which a material changes from a glassy state to a highly elastic state, which appears as a baseline shift on the curve.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry for Measuring the Melting Temperature of Thin Films
Differential scanning calorimetry analyzes thermal transitions in materials by measuring the heat flow difference between the sample and a reference. When determining the melting temperature of thin films, the sample must be uniformly prepared, with a mass between 3 and 10 milligrams. Testing is typically conducted at heating rates ranging from 5 to 20°C/min under a nitrogen protective atmosphere.

Pencil Hardness Tester for Rapid Evaluation of Coating Surface Hardness
The pencil hardness tester is a tool used for rapidly assessing the relative hardness of coating surfaces through standardized scratch tests. It employs a series of pencil leads with known hardness levels, which are drawn across the coating under a fixed load and angle. The hardness grade, ranging from 6B to 9H, is determined based on whether a permanent scratch is produced.

The Buchholz indentation test is a method for measuring the indentation hardness of coatings such as varnishes. It involves applying a specific indenter to the coating surface under a standard load, and after unloading, the length of the residual indentation is measured. A longer length indicates lower hardness.

The hardness grade of the coating is determined by observing whether permanent scratches are produced.
The pendulum hardness tester tests the scratch resistance limit of varnish.
The pendulum hardness tester measures the hardness of varnish by observing the attenuation of the pendulum's swing on the coating surface, with faster attenuation indicating a softer coating.
