FAQ's of shore A Gold:
Q: How does the Shore A Gold Hardness Tester measure hardness?
A: The tester utilizes a hemispherical indenter with a 0.79mm radius to press against the material specimen. The resistance is measured and displayed digitally in the Shore A hardness scale, providing accurate assessment of rubber, elastomer, or plastic samples.
Q: What types of materials are compatible with this Shore A Hardness Tester?
A: It is specifically designed for measuring the hardness of rubber, elastomers, and various plastics, making it suitable for quality testing, manufacturing, and research applications in these fields.
Q: When should calibration be performed on this hardness tester?
A: Calibration is recommended according to your laboratory's quality protocol or whenever consistent accuracy is critical. Calibration services are available on request to ensure precise measurement results.
Q: Where is the optimal environment to operate and store this tester?
A: The Shore A Gold Hardness Tester should be operated indoors, maintained at room temperature, and stored in a dry, clean environment to ensure long-lasting performance and accuracy.
Q: What is the process for testing a sample with this instrument?
A: Prepare two specimens of size 35mm diameter and 6mm thickness. Place the sample on the test platform, manually control the indenter to apply a 10mm/min speed, and observe the hardness value on the LCD digital display. The standard testing width is 10mm, and the allowable test stroke is 25mm.
Q: How can users benefit from employing this instrument in their facility?
A: Users benefit from its high measurement precision (accuracy 1HA), fast response time (1s), and the ability to process up to 50 samples per hour, supporting efficient, consistent, and standards-compliant hardness evaluation in industrial and laboratory settings.
Q: What are the key features that enhance the usability of the Shore A Gold Hardness Tester?
A: Key features include its easy-to-read LCD digital display, manual control for user flexibility, robust yet portable 10kg build, compliance with ASTM D2240 and ISO 868, and its suitability for a wide range of hardness measurements up to 100 Shore A.
