Shore A durometer TIME®5430 – digital, for rubber, elastomers and plastics
TIME®5430
The Shore durometer TIME®5430 is a digital Shore A hardness tester of the new generation for soft rubber, plastics, printing rollers and other elastomers. An LVDT displacement sensor ensures accurate readings, even in harsh environments.
The OLED display with menu operation clearly shows hardness value, average and peak value. Three work modes are available: real-time, peak-value lock and timing lock. In addition, the TIME®5430 stores up to 200 average values.
Via USB you transfer the data to a PC with the optional software and export it as a Word or Excel file.
