Gibitre’s digital Shore hardness tester delivers rapid, repeatable hardness measurement on elastomers, plastics, and soft materials in the lab and on the line. It conforms to ISO 48-4 and ASTM D2240, with support for related procedures in ISO 868, ISO 7267-2, and ISO 12046 where applicable.
Available scales: Shore A, D, 00, and A0. Hand-held or stand-mounted, it combines a high-resolution sensor with frictionless mechanics; controlled approach force minimizes operator influence.
The instrument reports initial hardness and the value at the set dwell time, while logging ambient temperature, sample surface temperature, and relative humidity to fully document test conditions.
Field-ready features include a large display, long-life rechargeable battery, and internal memory for 60 measurements.
With optional Hardness-Check software, it enables automatic data and curve acquisition, test identification, tolerance verification, and SQL database storage, integrating smoothly with QC tools fo
Digital Shore tester for the performance of hardness tests that can be used manually or in combination with support.
The instrument can be used as stand-alone device or can be connected to HardnessCheck software for automatic storage of test results.
• High-resolution sensor and frictionless mechanical construction to ensure extreme accuracy and repeatability of measurements.
• Calculation of initial hardness and hardness after set test time.
• Measurement of ambient temperature, specimen surface temperature and relative humidity.
• Storage of 60 measurements in device memory for later transmission to software.
• Large 25x50 mm digital display.
• Long-lasting rechargeable lithium battery.
• Control of the approach force applied to the instrument during manual operation.
• Optional software for direct acquisition of data and curves during test execution.
• Quick application of the hardness tester to the stand without the need for perpendicularity adjustment.
The instrument can be supplied with an ACCREDIA calibration certificate issued by the Accredia laboratory of Gibitre instruments.
The calibration is carried out according to the Technical Procedure approved by Accredia and in compliance with the requirements of the ISO 48-4 standard.
The Calibration refers to:
• Dimensions of the Indentor and Annular foot
• Forces applied by the indentor and the annular foot
• Displacement of the indenter
• Duration of the test
For manual use, the instrument must be simply pressed against the sample.
The display shows when the correct approaching force is being applied. The test results are automatically stored at the end of the test time. A specific handle permits easy test performance on round surfaces.
To use the support you simply need to:
- Attach the durometer to the holder (no adjustment is required).
- Adjust the distance between the specimen holder plate and the sensor according to the thickness of the specimen (max. 160 mm).
- Lower the durometer onto the specimen using the displacement lever.
Testing and data transmission to the software (if installed) start automatically when the durometer makes contact with the specimen.
The mechanical construction of the stand ensures that the force applied during measurement is that required by the standards.
Manual holders for the testing on round surfaces
The Software Hardness-Check allows to:
• Automatically acquire the curve and the test results when the instrument is in start
• Save all test results in the SQL database
• Compare the results with the tolerance limits
• Produce test reports
The PC control software allows multiple instruments to be used simultaneously. Each instrument is connected to the PC via the supplied USB cable.
The software allows you to prepare customized test procedures that include all the calculations required by the standards and product specifications. The dedicated page describes all the available calculations.
The Datagest program is the Database Management Tool always installed in combination with all Gibitre instrument-control programs.
The program permits to:
• Select, filter, print, export and analyse the test results stored with all the instruments connected.
• Prepare test procedures by defining the test conditions and the results to be produced
• Set tolerance limits for each product by manual insertion or using the statistical analysis (mean and standard deviation) of saved results
• Prepare multi-instrument test reports
The calibration is performed with reference to the requirements of ISO 48-4 standard.
The service includes:
• Ordinary maintenance of the instrument
• Visual inspection of the Indentor.
• Calibration of the total run of the indentor (readings at 0 and 100 Shore points).
• Calibration of the displacement of the indentor and of the force applied by the indentor in correspondence with several Shore readings (20, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90 Shore).
• Calibration of the force application time (NEW)
• Issue and e-mail shipment of the Calibration Certificate with traceability to primary standards.
The instrument is totally developed and produced in the plant of Gibitre Instruments in Italy.
All the mechanical parts are produced in the company workshop using modern CNC machines.
Components and sensors from well-known brands are selected in order to ensure the maximum reliability in the measures
Internal trained personnel takes care of all the production stages: assembly, start-up, calibration, packing, shipment and installation.
