This pocket-size digital durometer with an integrated probe is designed for precise measurement of the hardness of materials such as rubber, elastomers, and other rubber-like substances. It quickly and effectively measures the depth of indentation created by a standardized presser foot, producing a value from 0 to 100, where higher values indicate harder materials. Ideal for various applications, including testing neoprene, silicone, vinyl, nitrile, butyl, soft plastics, felt, leather, waxes, and printing rollers.
