Lever-operated bench stand for Shore A and D durometers: constant, repeatable vertical load

DTS (Durometer Test Stand) is the lever-operated bench stand for Shore A and D durometers, designed in compliance with ASTM D2240 to ensure the application of a constant, perfectly repeatable vertical loading force, independent of the operator's manual pressure.

The instrument operates by raising the specimen platform (90 mm diameter) towards the indenter of the durometer mounted on the fixed arm, with the addition of the standardised test weight specific to the durometer scale in use (1 kg for Shore A, 5 kg for Shore D, available as options).
Durometer mounting is simple and compatible with the SH-A and SH-D instruments; the arm height is adjustable.
Accessories available include a V-block for cylindrical or tubular samples. UKCA/CE certified.
