The OS-AUTO Durometer Test Stand is designed for precision hardness measurements on rubber, plastics and other materials. The OS-AUTO provides constant load, controlled rate of descent, and application velocity, through a geared electric motor and braking mechanism that alternately lowers the durometer onto the specimen and then raises it in preparation for the next test.
This OS-AUTO also provides an electronic timer that can adjust the amount of time the durometer remains in the lowered position (dwell time).
The OS-AUTO includes both interchangeable weights so it can be used to test Shore Durometer types A, B, C, D, DO, E, O, OO, OOO and OOO-S.
Small Weight for: Types A, B, E, O
Small + Large Weight for: Types C, D, DO
No Weight for: OO, OOO. OOO-S
Adjustment of the durometer for specimen thickness is easily accomplished by a height-adjusting knob on the top of the stand.
