The Hardness Testing Device with Platform DVT SHT D is a high-precision instrument designed for determining the hardness of elastomeric and plastic materials. Thanks to the platform and the use of standard weights, it provides stable and uniform pressure on the sample, allowing accurate and repeatable measurement results.
The device’s design also allows it to be used as a handheld shore meter, expanding its functionality and convenience for use in various conditions. It features simple operation and a robust design, making it an indispensable tool in quality control laboratories and manufacturing processes.
DVT SHT D is suitable for hardness measurement according to Shore A and Shore D standards, ensuring versatile application for testing different types of materials—from soft elastomers to rigid plastics.
This device is used in the automotive, rubber, plastics, chemical industries, and other sectors where reliable and accurate hardness control is required.
Key advantages of the device include measurement stability, ease of use, compactness, and durability.
