Advanced Measurement CapabilitiesWith an adjustable test speed (1.0-50 mm/min), a broad test stroke (200 mm), and a wide measuring range (0-100 HD), the Shore D Gold provides versatility for testing various specimen sizes (minimum 6 mm). Its stable bench-top mounting and automatic/manual operation guarantee reliable results under diverse testing conditions.
User-Friendly Operation and Data ManagementBenefit from intuitive touch screen control, instantaneous hardness readings, and an LCD digital display. The built-in memory stores up to 500 data points, making data management and export seamless via its RS232 port. Calibration is factory-set, ensuring out-of-the-box precision with an included certificate.
Reliable Build and Quality AssuranceEngineered for consistent operation in industrial settings, the machine maintains accuracy across different power supplies (AC 220V, 50Hz), with low noise (<70dB) and a sturdy export wooden case for protection. Its 120 kg weight and gold-black finish reinforce both durability and premium design.
FAQ's of Shore d Gold:
Q: How does the Shore D Gold Digital Hardness Tester ensure accurate measurements?
A: The tester utilizes a steel needle indenter with a hemispherical tip and follows strict ASTM D2240 and ISO 868 protocols. Pre-calibrated at the factory and supplied with a calibration certificate, it ensures high accuracy (1%) and consistent results with every use.
Q: What is the recommended process for using the Shore D Gold for hardness measurement?
A: Select your specimen (minimum 6 mm size), secure it on the bench-top mount, and use the touch screen to set test parameters. Adjust the test speed as needed, then initiate either automatic or manual operation to obtain instantaneous digital readings, which are displayed and saved for future reference.
Q: When should I recalibrate the Shore D Gold Tester?
A: The instrument is factory pre-calibrated and comes with a calibration certificate, making it ready for immediate use. Regular calibration checks may be scheduled based on your quality program, but recalibration is generally needed only if the instrument is exposed to harsh handling or significant changes in environment.
Q: Where is the data stored and how can I retrieve test results?
A: Up to 500 readings are stored in the built-in memory. Data can be reviewed on the LCD display or exported through the RS232 interface for analysis or record-keeping on external devices.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the Shore D Gold for hardness testing?
A: Benefits include high-precision measurement, adjustable test parameters, easy data export, touch screen convenience, and robust construction. Its design supports both automatic and manual operations, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial and laboratory applications.
Q: Can the Shore D Gold be used in environments with varying temperature and humidity?
A: Yes, it operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from 10C to 35C and humidity levels below 80%, maintaining stable performance and accurate readings within these environmental conditions.
