Shore hardness tester HD by Metav IndustryLine — Analogue Shore D, 0–100 HD, 1 HD resolution

The Shore hardness tester HD is an analogue Shore D durometer designed for quick, repeatable hardness checks on hard plastics, resins and acrylics in production and quality control environments.

• Analogue Shore D scale, 0–100 HD range
• 1 HD resolution for clear readings
• Peak-value capture with drag indicator
• Suitable for plastics, resins and Plexiglas

Reliable Shore D results for production control

The device delivers a full 0–100 HD measurement range with a reading increment of 1 HD, making it suitable for classification and incoming goods inspection of rigid polymers. With a measuring force up to 0–44.5 N and an indicated accuracy ±2 HD, the instrument provides consistent, comparable values that support process decisions and material acceptance. Using the Shore D testing procedure, the durometer translates an elastic response into a standardised hardness value, allowing direct comparison between batches and suppliers without complex interpretation.

Peak-value capture for consistent comparisons

A built‑in drag indicator records the maximum reading reached during contact, which reduces operator variation on inhomogeneous or slightly textured surfaces. The test tip is a cone 30° with a SR 0.1 mm tip radius, delivering a defined indentation geometry that is widely accepted for hard plastics testing. By capturing the peak value, the instrument simplifies repeated measurements on curved or uneven test pieces and supports faster decision-making in production sampling and lab comparisons.

Portable, analogue instrument for routine checks

Engineered for shop‑floor use, the durometer is analogue and weighs only 0.3 kg, which makes it straightforward to carry between test stations. Its compact footprint and simple readout require minimal setup and training, helping to integrate hardness checks into existing quality routines with little effort. The lightweight design also aids handheld positioning on samples such as acrylics, epoxy castings, Resopal and other rigid plastics, enabling quick pass/fail assessments during assembly or final inspection.

FAQ

What measurement range and resolution does the instrument provide?
The Shore hardness tester HD covers 0–100 HD with a reading step of 1 HD, suitable for standard Shore D hardness classification.

Which Shore scale and indenter geometry are used?
The instrument operates according to the Shore D procedure and uses a 30° cone indenter with a 0.1 mm tip radius to deliver standardised indentation results.

Which materials are suitable for testing with this durometer?
This durometer is intended for rigid polymers and similar materials such as plastics, epoxy castings, Resopal and acrylics (Plexiglas), enabling quality checks across a typical production range.

How does the drag indicator improve measurement repeatability?
The drag indicator captures the peak value reached during contact, so the maximum hardness is recorded even if the probe is lifted slightly—this reduces variation on textured or curved parts and yields more reproducible comparisons.

Is the instrument practical for mobile shop‑floor checks?
Yes. The Metav IndustryLine Shore hardness tester HD is lightweight (0.3 kg) and analogue, designed for quick handheld checks and fast visual assessment during production and inspection tasks.
