HPE lll – Digital Hardness Tester for Shore

What is a digital durometer?

A digital durometer measures hardness levels across various industrial products such as elastomers and foam. Operating within a 0-100 range, it utilizes the Shore testing method, hence often referred to as a Shore hardness tester. The accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of a digital durometer hinge on the quality of its spring force, displacement mechanism, and the materials used in its construction. Certain models can be mounted on a test stand for automated testing, reducing operator influence and ensuring consistent, dependable readings. Generally, softer materials yield lower Shore readings, whereas harder materials register higher values. The most common Types of Shore scales used in the industry are:

• Shore 00: For sponge, foam rubber, cellular rubber, etc.
• Shore A: For soft rubbers, elastomers, etc.
• Shore D: For hard rubber, hard plastics, etc.

HPE III Digital Durometer:

HPE III digital durometer made in Germany by Bareiss is renowned for its highest accuracy and reproducibility, this digital durometer adheres to industry standards such as ASTM D2240, DIN, and ISO 48. Its portable design incorporates unique features that establish it as the most reliable shore durometer available.

The HPE III hand-held hardness tester offers effortless measurement of shore hardness for soft-elastic materials, polymers, and composites. Its advanced features ensure accurate measurements and prevent operational errors.

The design:

The HPE III digital durometer is designed and developed in such a way that the functional handle and integrated pressure sleeve allow reliable guidance and ensure ASTM D2240 standard-compliant contact pressure on the test specimen. The design also makes sure that the indenter is at 90 degrees to the testing sample.  Upon completion of the measurement duration, it signals successful measurement with an audible tone to the user.

Key features:

• Large LCD Display: Ensures comfortable reading of measurements.
• USB Connection: Facilitates data transfer and battery recharging.
• Patented Handgrip: Ensures correct measuring angle and consistent application of force.
• Memory: 300 readings
• Software compatible: HPE III can connect to a laptop and is compatible with BareissOne software for user analysis
• Test stand compatible: HPE III can be attached to both manual and automatic test stands
