The Checkline AD-300 precision durometer is designed to measure the hardness of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers, elastomeric or soft plastic materials and silicon products via indentation resistance.
The AD-300 durometer meets the requirements of most international standards, including:
The AD-300 is German-engineering with the highest build employing an ultra-low friction movement and an indentor machined to the highest standards. Together with the ergonomic enlarged foot this enables you to take highly accurate and repeatable measurements.
The AD-300 Hardness Tester is available in Shore A, D, C and O scales
