Durometer Hardness Testers
Measure the hardness of flat materials, such as plastic, rubber, and laminate. For more information about durometer scales, please see the bottom of About Rubber.
Style 2 testers have a narrow base for access to confined areas. You can hold them in your hand.
Style 3 testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.
Testers with maximum-reading indicator hold the highest reading until reset.
Mount these testers to an optional operating stand (sold separately) to make sure they’re parallel to your sample for accurate readings and repeatability.

Digital Durometer Hardness Testers
Measure the hardness of flat materials with a digital display. For more information about durometer scales, please see the bottom of About Rubber.
These testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. A maximum-reading indicator holds the highest reading until reset. Use the USB/RS-232 port for direct connection to your PC.
Testers for Shore M durometers take accurate readings on materials as thin as 0.05". Use them to take measurements of areas that are too small for durometer readings with a Shore A scale tester.
Mount the tester to an operating stand (sold separately) to ensure it is perfectly parallel to the sample. This reduces error and gives accurate, repeatable readings.
