SHORE DUROMETER

What is the Elcometer Shore Durometer and why choose it

The Elcometer Shore Durometer series 3120 is designed for frequently testing the hardness of soft materials using the Shore hardness scale. A rounded indenter penetrates the material under a fixed spring force, and the hardness value is displayed directly on the dial in Shore units. The instrument can be operated manually or mounted on an optional test stand to increase measurement repeatability.

The Elcometer 3120 range covers multiple hardness values on Shore A and Shore D scales and is supplied in different versions, with or without a calibration certificate and with optional maximum value indicator.
