Available Models General information on textile durometers The principle used to measure the “firmness” or “hardness” of textile material is based on measuring the resistance force of the penetration of a ball sensor into a bobbin under a constant spring load. This principle is based on the Shore hardness test procedure. The display range of the textile durometers covers a range from 0 to 100 units, where 0 corresponds to the minimum and 100 to the maximum hardness value.
2.2 Delivery Includes Durometer Operating manual Specific Test Report 2.1 as per EN 10204 Carrying case 2.3 Unpacking Unpack the instrument and inspect it for any shipping damage. Notices of defect must be announced immediately, at the latest within 7 days on receipt of the goods.
Verification of Calibration You can test that the instrument is functional and undamaged by pressing the flat-bot- tomed models (“-F” models) against a smooth, level surface (such as glass or marble). When fully pressed down, the scale pointer should make one full turn on the scale, from zero to zero.
3.3.2 Verify calibration of durometer models: HP-2.5-F, HP-5-F and HP-10-F (with flat base) - Press the durometer down on a glass plate (fig. 3.3.2). Do not move the spring-loaded outer shell. The scale pointer should make one full turn on the scale, from zero to zero. If the result of verification is positive, the durometer should show correct readings.
4 Optional Accessories Memory Pointer (Option Code M) The durometer is available with a memory pointer which can be ordered under option Memory pointer code M. The memory pointer moves with the scale pointer when a measurement is taken. However, when pressure on the outer shell is released, and the scale pointer returns to zero, the memory pointer remains in position, Knurled knob...
7 Verification Intervals The question of finding the right frequency of calibration accuracy verification depends on several different factors: Operating time and load of the SCHMIDT hardness tester Tolerance band defined by the customer ...
