Simple, reproducible determination of the hardness of plastics
KERN at Control 2024
Balingen, Stuttgart, February 2024. KERN & SOHN GmbH and its subsidiary SAUTER will be present at Control at stand 1622 in hall 10 to unveil their new measuring and weighing products: Alongside other products, they will be exhibiting new test devices as well as a new test bench for reproducible Shore hardness testing of plastics at the trade fair for quality assurance from 23 to 26 April.
Hardness testing made easy
The digital Shore hardness testing devices in the SAUTER HE range offer a wide range of functions for measuring the hardness of plastics through penetration measurement. The model for Shore A is ideal, for example, for testing rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, vinyl, soft plastics, felt and leather, while the model for Shore D is tailor-made for testing a range of plastics, including synthetic resin, Resopal, epoxy and Plexiglas.
Different measuring modes allow the determination of average and maximum values and the control of measurement timing, which in turn increases accuracy. A threshold value alarm function triggers an acoustic and visual signal when the value goes above or below specified limits. It is also possible to enter the workpiece number and select the measuring time between 0 and 99 seconds. The large backlit display makes work easier, even in poor lighting conditions.
One test bench for two hardness scales
With the SAUTER TI-HEA or TI-HED manual Shore test bench, hardness tests can be carried out more consistently and accurately than by hand. To achieve this, the Shore hardness testing device can be mounted on the test bench with very little effort. The robust design enables accurate measuring movements. Easy handling also contributes to repeatable measurement results. The levelling device enables the user to precisely align the steel base plate, even for inhomogeneous test objects.
