Precision instruments Categories: Durometer Testers

For the technician that must perform hardness tests on various types of non-metallic materials, we offer the Multi-Scale durometer test kit.

The Multi-Scale base kit consists of a digital display with a type A, D, and OO durometer barrel. A complete kit is supplied with a digital display and types A, D, B, C, DO, O, OO, OOO durometer barrels.

Changing scales is accomplished by unscrewing one barrel and replacing it with another – no supplementary calibration or adjustments are necessary.

A test block calibrated to the selected scale is also included. The block allows the user to perform quick functional checks on the instrument.

The RX-2100 Tire Durometer allows racers to quickly and accurately make checks of tire hardness.

Tire hardness can be a critical factor in setting up a race car. A tire that’s too hard may sacrifice traction, while a tire that’s too soft may give great traction but wear too quickly, and an unmatched set of tires may result in an ill-handling car. To properly set up a car, a measure of tire hardness is necessary, and the easiest and most cost-effective way to obtain such a measure is to use a durometer.

The Type A durometer as specified by ASTM D-2240 is the gauge used by tire manufacturers to measure the hardness of tire rubber. The gauge gives readings of hardness in durometer points on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the hardest reading. Some race tires come from the factory with the durometer hardness noted on the sidewall, but factors such as ambient temperature, track temperature, usage, and age of the tire can change the actual hardness of the tire from the factory hardness.

The new RX-1600-A120 durometer features a scale specifically designed for testing the hardness of skateboard wheels that measures up to 120 on the “A” scale. Normal type A durometers only read to 100 however as wheel manufacturers began to satisfy the demand from riders who wanted harder wheels, wheels with hardness ratings over 100 A became available.

Our RX-1600-A120 features a dial that reads from 20 to 120 on the “A” scale to allow wheel manufacturers and riders to accurately measure their wheels in the over 100 range.

The RX-1000 Mini-Dial Durometer is both compact and easy to use. Its small dial face and included leather clip-on carrying case make it easy for an inspector to carry the gauge- for work around the shop, or out in the field.
The RX-1000 durometer holds the maximum reading until reset by pressing the button at the top of the gauge. The max-hold feature and small dial size make the RX-1000 a good choice for hard to reach places, or for out of sight testing.
