Sauter Analogue Durometer Shore A Hardness Tester Blunt Taper Indenter 115mm Length HBA 100-0

The Sauter HBA 100-0 analogue durometer is a precision Shore A Hardness Tester featuring a blunt taper indenter designed to evaluate the hardness of soft materials such as rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, vinyl, soft plastics, felt, and leather. This compact handheld instrument offers quick and safe hardness comparison testing commonly required in quality control and laboratory testing environments. With an overall length of 115mm and a lightweight design of approximately 160g, it enables easy manipulation during testing.

Equipped with an analogue dial display, the device provides highly accurate measurements with a precision of ±3%. It includes a maximum mode that freezes the highest hardness value on the display, facilitating straightforward comparisons during batch testing. The instrument is fitted with an auto OFF function to extend battery life during periods of non-use.

The blunt taper indenter penetrates soft materials to measure shore hardness on the Shore A scale, which is particularly relevant for soft elastomeric products and flexible materials.

Operating reliably within temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C, this durometer is well-suited for industrial, laboratory, manufacturing, and quality assurance applications. It helps manufacturers ensure material consistency and compliance with hardness specifications.
