This Shore Hardness Tester is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, it is con­venient to use and operate. It`s ruggedness will allow many years of use if proper
operating techniques are followed. Please read the following instructions carefully
and always keep this manual within easy reach.

1 Features

* Designed to determine the indentation hardness of materials ranging from cellular
products to rigid plastics. Each durometer type is made to a specific scale ( i.e. A, B,
C,D, DO, E, O, OO) and is capable of producing a value between 0 and 100.
* Shore A is designed for soft vulcanized rubber, natural, thermoplastic elastomers,
flexible polyacrylics and thermosets, wax, felt, and leathers.
* Shore B is designed f or moderately hard rubber, therm opl as ti c el astomers, paper
products, and fibrous mat er ial s .
* Shore C is designed for medium-hard rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, medium
hard plastics and thermoplastics.
* Shore D is designed for hard Rubber, thermoplastic el as to mer s, harder plastics,
and rigid thermoplastics moderately hard
* Shore DO is designed for rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, and very dense textile
windings.
* Shore E is designed for hard sponge, EVA.
* Shore O is designed for soft rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, very soft plastics and
thermoplastics, medium-density textile windings.
* Shore OO is designe d for ex tr em el y soft rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, sponge,
extremely soft plastics and thermoplastics, foams, low-density textile windings.
* It meets standards: DIN 53505, ISO 868,ISO 7619, ASTM D 2240, JIS K7215.
* Used the exclusi ve Micro-computer LSI circuit and crystal time base to offer high
accuracy measurement.
* Digital display gives exact reading with no guessing or errors.
* Can communicate with PC for recording, printing and analyzing by the optional
software and cable for RS232C interface.
* Automatic power off to conserve power.
* Use operation stand of optional parts can get good accuracy and repetitiveness due
to constant measurement force to eliminate the errors caused by artificially applied
different force.
