Professional Portable Shore AM Hardness Tester
The TIME5433 Shore AM Hardness Tester is a professional portable Shore hardness tester designed for accurate hardness measurement of thin vulcanized rubber, thin plastic products, sealing materials, films, and other elastomeric materials with a thickness below 6 mm. Specifically developed for thin specimens that cannot be accurately measured using conventional Shore hardness testers, the TIME5433 delivers precise Shore AM hardness measurements with excellent repeatability. Equipped with a high-precision LVDT displacement sensor, the instrument provides stable measurement performance and dependable accuracy for manufacturing, quality control, laboratories, and material inspection.
The TIME5433 Portable Shore AM Hardness Tester measures across the full Shore AM range from 0 to 100 HAM with a resolution of 0.1 HAM. Furthermore, the instrument offers three measurement modes, including real-time measurement, peak value hold, and timed hold, allowing operators to select the most suitable testing method for different materials and inspection procedures. Automatic zero-point calibration helps maintain consistent measurement accuracy while reducing setup time before testing.
Designed for Industrial Inspection
The bright OLED display provides clear hardness readings together with an intuitive menu interface for simple and efficient operation. In addition, programmable upper and lower hardness limits with audible alarm notifications simplify PASS/FAIL inspections during production and batch testing. The instrument automatically calculates average values while removing abnormal readings, helping improve measurement consistency and minimise operator influence.
The TIME5433 Portable Shore AM Hardness Tester stores up to 200 averaged measurement records for efficient quality documentation and inspection management. Moreover, optional PC software enables measurement data to be transferred via USB to Microsoft Word or Excel for reporting, analysis, and long-term record keeping. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous operation, making the TIME5433 an ideal solution for routine Shore AM hardness testing in laboratory, production, and quality assurance applications.
