Shore Durometer Hardness Tester for Rubber Polishing Pad

DURO-TESTER

Rubber Pad Durometer Hardness Tester for Hardness Scale A with NIST Certificate
This Shore Durometer Tester measures the hardness of flat materials, including plastic, rubber, and laminate. It's specifically suitable for testing rubber polishing pads used on fiber optic polishing machines. The tester comes with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate to ensure accuracy.

Helpful FOC TIPS on Durometers specifically for polishing machine rubber pads:
  • Always measure hardness in the center of the pad, away from worn areas where lapping film is applied.
  • Use testers with blunt, ball, or flat tips to avoid leaving permanent marks on the rubber.
  • Calibrate the tester using a standard calibration reference. Contact FOC technical team for further details: Technicalexperts@focenter.com
