Durometer Hardness Testers
IMADA, Inc., provides accurate measuring devices for every need. Some of the many high-quality instruments we manufacture are durometers. Durometers are important to the manufacturing sector because they measure the hardness of materials. These include normal and hard rubber, as well as soft and hard plastics, by assessing the resistance to indentation of polymers, elastomers, and rubbers. They do this by applying pressure to the surface of an object via an indentor and measuring the level of resistance. The results are expressed in terms of the Shore hardness scale, which varies based on the materials.

Handheld Durometers

Imada offers a number of options for handheld durometers. These devices are used to test the hardness of materials for quality control or comparison purposes. For example, automotive manufacturers may want to test tires to make sure they are capable of resisting punctures. Products made with foam rubber may be tested with a durometer to ensure they are soft enough to be handled safely by children.
