Dynamometers and durometers

  1. Universal Testing Machines (Tensile Testers):
  • Function: execution of tensile, compression, tear, and rubber-to-metal adhesion tests.
  • Capacity: interchangeable high-precision load cells and long-travel extensometers specifically designed for high-elongation materials.
  • Data analysis: specialized software for automatic calculation of moduli (E, 100%, 300%), tensile strength, and elongation at break.
  1. Durometers (Shore A, Shore D, IRHD):
  • Function: measurement of penetration resistance on elastomer surfaces (hardness testing).
  • Specifications: available in portable handheld or bench-top versions with constant-load stands to eliminate operator error.
  • Compliance: strict adherence to international regulations (ASTM D2240, ISO 868, ISO 48) with certified calibration blocks.
