Rubber Microporous Hardness Tester

The rubber microporous hardness tester uses spring pressure to press the needle into porous rubber, and the hardness value is calculated by measuring the depth of penetration. It is used to test the hardness performance of soft porous materials such as sponge and foam, and finds applications in areas like seat cushions and cushioning packaging.
Selection
Select the indenter specification based on the pore size and elasticity range of the rubber being tested; match the measurement range according to the material thickness; choose between mechanical or electronic types considering the operating environment; verify the hardness unit required by the product standard; ensure the indenter is clean and free of residue.
