ELECTRONIC SHORE

PORTABLE DIGITAL HARDNESS TESTER WITH HIGHST ACCURACY STANDARDS

The AFFRI Electronic Shore tester is a compact device suitable for measuring the hardness of plastic, rubber, polymers, elastomers and synthetic materials. The Electronic Shore hardness tester is in compliance with ASTM D2240, ISO 7619 and ISO 868 standards. It is extremely easy to use: just push the probe on the surface of the sample and wait for the dwell time till the result appears on the display!

MAIN FEATURES:

• 100% made in Italy
• Interchangeable probes with easy plug/unplug
• Suitable for performing accurate and fast test on small and large samples
• The ergonomic probe can be used in any direction, even upside down
• R&R high performance
• Robust and resistant in every test condition
• Tungsten carbide indenter to guarantee maximum efficiency over the time
• The tester can be installed on the manual or motorized bench support for laboratory purpose


ERGONOMIC PROBE Slim measuring nose to ensure exact positioning also on small components. Able to use in any direction even upside down. Micro probe Shore A for easy inside tests Min Ø45 mm. Come along with the suitcase in hard-plastic with internal foam structure to acommodate the hardness tester		BENCH-TOP STAND SUPPORT Bench stand support for extremely precise hardness testing. The force is applied perpendicularly to the sample surface with high stability whitin any dwell time. The constant pressure from the top assures a very accurate measurement. Very easy mounting of the probe on the stand support, just screw-unscrew. Supplementary weight for Shore C-D-DO are available.

HANDCLAMP SUPPORT Clamping system to lock the sample during the test for perfect stability. The handclamp is equipped with dual linear bearing guides with a coaxial error of only 2 microns. However, due to the particular shape of some samples, we recommend the use of specific optional supports which can be developed according to customer requirement.		O-RING TEST - ASTM 1414 Set of clamping holders to be connected to the bench support for very precise hardness testing on O-Rings in compliance with ASTM 1414. Sections Ø 1 - 1.79 - 2.62 - 3.53 - 5.33 - 6.99 mm, other on request. All AFFRI’s accessories are customizable according to customers specifications, depending on dimensions and geometry of the samples.
THE SOFTWARE Display and intuitive keyboard with IP 64 protection. Set of the hardness test method. Measurement settings. Storable and printable statistics. Results, averages and conversions • Measure at peak / at time / continuou. Measure of temperature • Store the number of tests with automatic average, list of stored result, statistics, standard deviation, histogram • RS 232 C data out-put or USB (optional) for connection to PC and printer • Battery charge indicator and Bat. shut off after 2 minute not use
