409 Type D

The unique ergonomic styling of this durometer makes it the first choice for making hand held measurements. A removable knob allows the instrument to fit comfortably in your palm. An 8-32 threaded hole also enables the unit to fit in most durometer stands. These durometers meet or exceed all aspects of ASTM D 2240 specifications. The dial scale can easily be read to 1/2 point readings. A standard Max-hold hand remains at the peak reading until reset. The durometer comes complete with test block, carrying case and a Report of Test.

The included test block is made from aircraft grade aluminum and has a steel leaf spring to give a reading within ±1of its value. This test block gives much more reliable readings than rubber blocks and its readings are unaffected by normal ambient temperature and humidity.
