Digital Shore Hardness Tester HPE III

Shore Hardness - Specimen/Environment Temperature - Humidity

DIN ISO 7619, DIN EN ISO 868, ASTM D2240, NF EN ISO 868, JISK 6253

Qualitest offfers Digital Hardness Tester HPE III which provides significant test data for the use in laboratory or field.

Companies that develop or use the products made of soft elastic materials produce, have usually a laboratory in which the products and raw material are regularly tested according to the standard.

Key Features

• The HPE III housing is made of aluminum alloy which provides robust structure and light weight
• A large screen with 102 x 64 pixels with selectable informatin to display
• Navigate all fucntions through a touch of your thumb. The new HPE III is designed for one-handed operation.
• Equipped with 2 temperature sensors with 1 for measuring the speicmen termperature and the other for the environmental temperature as well as humidity.
• A patented hand-grip helps minimizing incorrent measuring angleand ensuring the right force is applied.

A sleek apperance

The new HPE III measures 153 L x 67 W x 43 D mm and weighs only as little as 285 grams. The  slightly tilted top section eliminates any light reflection from the screen making it a comfortable reading angle. The structure importance is not compromisedbecause of its sleek design, the enitre HPE III housing is made of alumimum alloy which is meant to provide light weight androbustness.

HPE III Display

On the HPE III display, not only you get a view of the hardness value, additional information such as the environmental temperature/humidity specimen temperature, date/time, no. of measurments are all at a glance. Another breakthrough is that all previous measurments are viewabledirectly on the display and transferrableby USBand RS232

Navigate through your thumb

The HPE III is designed to provide great usability. Simply with a touch of your thumb, you can navitage through all functions on the screen while your hand has a firm grip on the  lower section of the device. It is a truly one-handedoperation durometer.

Innovative feature on HPE III

Both rubber and plastic are prone to change their properties due to the temperature change. To help you better understand how temperature could influencethe hardness of your specimen, the HPE III is equipped with two thermalcouples for delivering information of your specimen temperature and the environmental temperature

Minimizing user error

One of the most common mistakes tomake when a measuring is taken placeis the angle of approach. The HPE III hasa large hand grip to assist the user to approach the specimen perpendiculary. The special mechanism inside the hand grip delivers an exact amount of load (Shore A = 1kg / Shore D = 5 kg)required as when the presser foot gets into a full contact with the specimen
