Professional Portable Shore Hardness Tester
The TIME5432 Shore Hardness Tester is a professional portable Shore hardness tester designed for accurate hardness measurement of ultra-soft materials such as sponge, foam, soft rubber, cellular rubber, and other low-hardness elastomeric materials. Designed for manufacturing, quality control, laboratories, and material inspection, the TIME5432 provides reliable Shore AO hardness measurements with excellent repeatability. Equipped with a high-precision LVDT displacement sensor, the instrument delivers stable performance and dependable accuracy, making it suitable for demanding industrial and laboratory applications.
The TIME5432 Portable Shore Hardness Tester measures across the full Shore AO range from 0 to 100 HAO with a resolution of 0.1 HAO. 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 requirements. Automatic zero-point calibration helps maintain measurement accuracy while reducing preparation time before testing.
Designed for Industrial Inspection
The bright OLED display provides clear hardness readings together with an intuitive menu interface for fast and convenient 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 reduce operator influence.
The TIME5432 Portable Shore 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 TIME5432 an ideal solution for routine Shore AO hardness testing in both laboratory and production environments.
