X Series, The Durometer Asker Type C measures soft rubber, sponges, foam elastomers, rolled-threads, rolled films and textile windings, like yarn packages.
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type E for soft rubber with low hardness (JIS K 6253 & ISO 7619).
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type B is suitable for semi-rigid rubber with normal to high hardness, as stated by ASTM D2240.
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type JA determines the hardness of general rubber, as specified in former JIS K 6301
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type A for general rubber with normal hardness, as specified in the standards of JIS K 6253, ASTM D 2240, ISO 7619, DIN53505, etc.
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type CS helps to decrease false readings of polystyrene foam measurements.
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type F for softer specimens with low hardness. The large indentor and pressure foot guarantee high accuracy.
X Series, The Durometer Asker Type D for hard rubber (high hardness) and plastics, as specified in the standards of JIS K 6253, ASTM D 2240, ISO 7619, DIN53505, etc.
X Series, Durometer Asker type C2 for soft rubber, sponges, other foam elastomers, rolled threads (yarn packages). Suitable for soft materials difficult to measure using the Durometer type C.

X Series High Performance Durometer


The X Series high performance durometer is available in different versions:

Common Hardness scales:
  • Model X-A Shore A Hardness - Normal Rubber
  • Model X-D Shore D Hardness - Hard Rubber and plastics
  • Model X-C Asker C Hardness - Soft rubber and sponge
  • Model X-F Asker F Hardness - Urethane foam, sponge and polystyrene foam

Special Hardness Scales:
  • Asker JA Normal rubber & softer plastics
  • Asker B semi rigid rubber & plastics
  • Asker C2 Soft rubber & sponge Asker
  • Asker CS Polystyrene foam
  • Asker E Soft & cellular rubber
Asker Hardness testers feature portable design, ease of operation, non-destructive measurement and optional peak indicators. Supplied with 3 point NIST traceable calibration cert.
The Asker High Performance series has an accuracy of ±.75 point and is available in Type F for soft materials like sponge rubber and urethane foam.
Asker models are available in ASTM D 2240 durometer Types: Shore A Hardness, Shore D Hardness and Asker C Hardness durometer scales.

Conforms to: JIS K 6253, JIS K 7215, ASTM D 2240, ISO 7619, ISO 868, DIN 53505

All X models are supplied with a NIST traceable calibration certificate.


Operation

As the hardness tester is pressed against the sample, the material resistance force and indentor spring load balance. The depth of the indentor is measured, which provides a measure of the material's hardness. Values are based upon a 100 point scale (accuracy ±.75 point). However, as time elapses the indicator will "creep" back so that a reading taken a few seconds after the tester makes contact with the sample will be less than the peak reading. The optional peak indicator helps to more closely monitor the difference between peak and "creep" in hardness tests.
