Overview
DUBAN DB20-LX-OO Shore Durometer is an OO type Hardness measuring instrument specially designed for the measurement of Hardness of very soft materials. The hardness gauge has the characteristics of simple structure, easy use, small size, light weight and intuitive reading. It supports handheld measurement or matching load racks. It is widely used in the determination of Hardness of rubber and plastics.
Features
1. Integrated design, small size and light weight.
2. Metric/imperial unit conversion, with average calculation, MAX Maximum latch and undervoltage alarm indication functions.
3. Use "USB data cable output" and "RS-232 data cable output" to communicate with PC.
4. Provide "Bluetooth Bluetooth ™ data output" selection.
Principle
The Shore Shore Durometer applies a test force to the surface of the specimen by pressing the needle to measure the Hardness value of the material. When using the test stand, the test force is applied to the central axis of the pressing needle by weight, so that the pressure is fully pressed on the specimen to obtain a stable and accurate Hardness value.
Applications
Very soft rubber, very soft and thermal plasticity plastics, sponges, foams, low density Spinning & weaving spindles, human and animal tissues
Steps
1. Select handheld measurement or install on the test bracket as needed.
2. Turn on the power supply to ensure that the battery is fully charged.
3. Apply pressure by aligning the crimp vertically with the specimen surface.
4. Read the displayed Hardness Value, Average or MAX Maximum.
5. Optional USB, RS-232 or Bluetooth output data to PC.
Notice
* The working environment temperature should be 0~ 40 ℃, humidity < 90% RH.
* Check the battery level before use to avoid undervoltage affecting the measurement.
* Ensure that the center axis of the crimp is perpendicular to the specimen surface during measurement.
* Optional Test Stand to Improve Measurement Precision.
* Avoid use in extreme environments or inappropriate conditions.
