Digital penetrometer GT-KC12

Product overview
The GT-KC12 Leather Softness Tester is a digital, non-destructive instrument for assessing softness of leather and animal skins. It provides repeatable local softness readings to support quality control and material inspection in manufacturing and laboratory environments.

Application
Designed for comparative softness measurement across a batch and for mapping variations on a single hide. Suitable for tanneries, leather goods manufacturers, quality labs and R&D departments that require fast, on-sample evaluation without damaging the material.

Standards
IULTCS / IUP 36, ISO 17235

Principle of operation
The device uses a small pneumatically controlled valve to apply a defined load to a probe. The specimen is clamped to the base while the probe descends at a controlled speed and pressure. Softness is indicated on the pressure arm indicator for direct reading.

Key features and uses

• Non‑destructive digital measurement of leather and animal skin softness
• Detects uniformity within a production batch and differences across hide areas
