Shore AO durometer TIME®5432 – digital, for soft rubber and sponges
TIME®5432
The Shore durometer TIME®5432 is a digital Shore AO hardness tester of the TIME®543X series for soft materials such as low-hardness rubber and sponges. The manufacturer recommends it for Shore A values below 20 HA.
An LVDT displacement sensor ensures accurate readings and can be used at up to 90 % relative humidity. The OLED display with menu operation clearly shows the readings. Three work modes are available: real-time, peak-value lock and timing lock. In addition, the TIME®5432 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.
