SHORE DUROMETER TEST STAND
Thank you for buying a SAUTER Durometer Test Stand.
The ruggedness of this stand will allow many years of use
if you will care for an appropriate operation and
maintenance.
If there are any queries, wishes or helpful suggestions, do
not hesitate to call our service number.
Instruction
This Test Stand is produced for our Shore hardness
testers. Combined with this, tests can be made more
stable and accurate. TI-A0 is applied for HB instruments
Shore A and 0; TI-D is applied for HB instruments Shore
D.
Structure
Operation
The Shore durometer has to be fixed on the test stand by
the installation pole. The hardness testing block has to be
put onto the glass stage. Then the operating handle has to
be pressed by poise to place the durometer tip into the
hole of the block until the foot of the durometer touches the
testing block completely. At this time, the hardness value
on the dial should be within ± 1 of the signed value on the
block (side below). If the value is not 100±1, the adjusting
nut under the glass stage has to be adjusted to make the
value turn to 100±1.
If the durometer is used without hardness block, the
operating handle also has to be pressed by poise to place
the durometer tip on the glass stage, touching it
completely. Here, the hardness value on the dial should be
within 100±1. If not, it should be adjusted by the adjusting
nut under the glass stage to make the value turn to 100±1.
The testing material has to be put on the glass stage, the
operation handle has to be moved down by force of the
designation weight. When the durometer touches the test
material completely, the value appears on the dial.
The reading value time of thermoplastic rubber is 15
seconds, vulcanised rubber or other unknown rubbers is 3
seconds. The Shore C model is able to read the value
within 1 second after the durometer has touched the
material completely.
Caution
1. This test stand can only be applied for Shore
durometers. If it is installed with different durometers, the
quality of weight first has to be adjusted according to the
requirements.
GB/T531.1-2008 has a rule for the adjustment of total
quality as shown below:
Note: Total quality includes quality of lock screws,
designation weight, screw, installation pole and durometer.
2. It has to be applied in environment without shock, the
max. pressing speed of the test should not be above
3.2mm/s.
Maintenance
The test stand had to be cleaned after using it with a
smooth cloth to avoid rust.
