operating instructions:
Hold the durometer in vertical position above the specimen. Press the durometer down without shock u ntil
entire presser foot (DIA 18mm) is in full contact with specimen. Dial hand shows the actual shore hardness,
(take readings alter: 3s=DIN 53505, 1s=ISO 868 and ASTM D 2240).
Durometers with drag pointer: The drag pointer gives the maximum Redding.
