Shore AM durometer TIME®5433 – digital, for thin samples

TIME®5433

The Shore durometer TIME®5433 is a digital Shore AM hardness tester and the newest member of the TIME®543X series with the same appearance and basic functions. With the AM type needle it tests thin samples in the ordinary hardness range such as vulcanized rubber and plastic products. For samples thinner than 6 mm the TIME®5433 is recommended.

The instrument has a small spring force and the indenter protrudes only 1.25 mm. For a stable test process, measure on the optional TIME®A523 operating stand. An LVDT displacement sensor ensures accurate readings and can be used at up to 90 % relative humidity. Three work modes are available: real-time, peak-value lock and timing lock. In addition, the TIME®5433 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.
