Shore D durometer TIME®5431 – digital, for hard plastics and hard rubber
TIME®5431
The Shore durometer TIME®5431 is a digital Shore D hardness tester of the new generation for hard plastics and hard rubber. An integrated LVDT displacement sensor ensures accurate readings, even in harsh environments.
The 1.3-inch 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®5431 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.
