FAQs

What is a Digital Durometer?

A digital durometer is a precision tool for measuring hardness levels in materials like elastomers and foam. It uses the Shore testing method, offering a 0-100 range for various material hardnesses:

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

Certain models, such as the HPE III, can be mounted on a test stand to minimize operator influence and ensure consistent results.
