1. Product description
The DeFelsko (USA) PosiTector SHD Shore Hardness Durometer measures the hardness of non-metallic materials such as rubber, plastics and polyethylene.
2. Features
1. Versatile
① Universal gauge body accepts all PosiTector 6000, 200, SPG, DPM and UTG probes, easily converting from a coating thickness gauge to a surface profile gauge, dew point meter or ultrasonic thickness gauge
② A choice of display languages, including Chinese
③ High-contrast backlit display for bright or dim conditions
④ Display can be flipped for upside-down viewing
2. Simple
① Digital display, easy to read
② Adjustable measuring time with on-screen timer
③ Conforms to US and international standards
④ Reset function quickly restores factory settings
3. Durable
① Solvent, acid, oil, water and dust resistant – environmentally sealed
② Shock-absorbing rubber holster with belt clip
4. Accurate
① Every gauge comes with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST
② Auto-ignore mode discards readings below 20 or above 90, as international standards require
③ High-resolution mode increases display resolution to 0.1
④ Conforms to US and international standards, including ISO and ASTM
⑤ Test block supplied for checking operation
5. Powerful
① Continuously displays and updates the mean, standard deviation, min/max and number of readings while measuring
② Screen capture – screen images can be saved for records and review
③ Audible and visible alarm when readings go outside the set limits
④ USB port for quick, easy connection to a PC, with continuous power; cable supplied
⑤ Software can be updated online
⑥ PosiSoft USB drive – stored readings and graphs can be viewed with a web browser or file explorer, no software download needed
3. Gauge body features
1. Standard gauge body (also called type 1 or S):
① Stores 250 readings for review or download
2. Advanced gauge body (also called type 3 or A):
① Stores up to 100,000 readings in up to 1,000 batches and sub-batches
② Auto sub-batching: creates a new sub-batch automatically after a chosen number of readings
③ Real-time graph of readings
④ Batch notes and names can be entered with the on-screen keyboard
⑤ WiFi syncs wirelessly with PosiSoft.net and downloads software updates
⑥ Data can be transferred to a PC by USB, or wirelessly to mobile devices, PCs or printers
3. SmartLink
