To obtain accurate readings using a durometer, one must develop the proper "feel" for the gauge. Check-line's Test Block Kit (TBK-D) gives the user the ability to develop the proper "feel", and, while it is not to be used for calibration purposes, it enables the user to perform a quick check for proper durometer operation. A large variation would indicate the need for recalibration of the durometer being utilized. This should be done in accordance with the methods indicated in ASTM D-2240.
The kit consists of three color coded test blocks each of which measures ¼" x 2" x 2". The kit is supplied in a sturdy magnetic-latching carrrying case with the true readings for each block on the inside cover of the case. At an additional cost, a certificate of conformance is also available for users who need documentation of tracibility to NIST. Single test blocks for other durometer scales are also available. |
