Professional Portable Shore Hardness Tester
The TIME5430 Shore Hardness Tester is a professional portable Shore hardness tester designed for accurate hardness measurement of soft rubber, plastics, elastomers, and other flexible materials. Engineered for manufacturing, quality control, laboratories, and incoming material inspection, the TIME5430 combines high measurement accuracy with advanced digital features to deliver fast and reliable Shore A hardness testing. Featuring a high-precision LVDT displacement sensor, the instrument provides stable measurement performance and excellent repeatability, even in demanding industrial environments.
The TIME5430 Portable Shore Hardness Tester measures across the full Shore A range from 0 to 100 HA with a resolution of 0.1 HA. Furthermore, the instrument offers three measurement modes, including real-time measurement, peak value hold, and timed hold, allowing users to select the most suitable testing method for different materials and inspection procedures. Automatic zero-point calibration ensures consistent measurement accuracy while reducing operator setup time.
Designed for Industrial Inspection
The bright OLED display provides clear hardness readings together with an intuitive menu system for simple operation in both workshop and laboratory environments. In addition, programmable upper and lower hardness limits with audible alarm notifications enable rapid PASS/FAIL inspection during production and batch testing. The instrument also calculates average values automatically while removing abnormal readings to improve measurement consistency and reduce operator error.
The TIME5430 Portable Shore Hardness Tester stores up to 200 averaged measurement records for convenient inspection management. Moreover, optional PC software allows measurement data to be transferred via USB to Microsoft Word or Excel for reporting, documentation, and long-term quality control. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous operation, making the TIME5430 a dependable solution for daily hardness testing in industrial applications.
