SHORE M/AM DX 833 HARDNESS TESTER The DX 833 Shore hardness tester is intended for performing Shore M and AM scales in a fully controlled manner: the test cycle is in fact electronic and automatic. Suitable for all polymers, elastomers, rubbers and gel-like materials (such as plastics, rubber, medical items, paper and sponges) of small to medium size and complex geometries. Full compliance with the standards of reference, including: ISO 48-48, ISO 868, ISO 21509 AND ASTM D2240 WHY CHOOSE A SHORE BENCHTOP HARDNESS TESTER? 1 - It eliminates human influence during the execution of the test due to the correct perpendicularity and orthogonality of the indenter with respect to the sample, which only a benchtop hardness tester or support can guarantee. 2 - It maximises the reproducibility of measurements thanks to the electronic control of the probe descent speed: the DX 833 Shore hardness tester can in fact program values from 0.5 mm/s to 16 mm/s. 3 - Thanks to the extensive kit of dedicated accessories, it can be used to measure objects with complex geometries. SHORE HARDNESS: GUARANTEED REGULATORY TRANSPARENCY The decision to design a benchtop instrument instead of a portable one is no accident. The standards for the execution of Shore hardness tests speak for themselves: - The ISO 48-4 standard recommends an application of 250 g for the Shore AM scale. The application of this force can hardly be guaranteed manually by using the instrument in portable mode. - The ASTM D2240 standard requires an exclusive use of the Shore M hardness scale with a benchtop hardness tester, as it calls for mandatory mm/sec control of the descent speed of the probe.
