| Multi Scale Durometer Test Kit |
For the technician that must perform hardness tests on various types of non-metallic materials.
![]() |
The Multi-Scale base kit consists of a Rex A scale durometer (with standard, silver barrel for
soft rubber, plastics and elastomers, printer's rolls), and your choice of one or more color-coded barrel adapters for B, C, D, DO,
O, or OO scales (see the included chart
for applications). Changing scales
is accomplished by unscrewing one
barrel and replacing it with another
- no supplementary calibration or adjustments
are necessary. A test block,
calibrated to the selected scale, is also
included. The block allows the user to
perform quick functional checks on the
instrument. The indicator and barrels are
made in the U.S.A., and are calibrated to
the ASTM D2240 standard for durometer hardness testers. |
| Scale | Color | Application |
| TYPE A (standard) | Silver | Soft rubber, plastics and elastomers, printer's rolls |
| Type B | Pink | Harder elastomers and plastics. Paper and fibrous materials. Use above 93 Duro A. |
| Type C | Yellow | Medium hard elastomers and plastics. Also useful to avoid surface marks. |
| Type D | Gold | Hard rubber and plastics such as thermo plastics, flooring and bowling balls. |
| Type DO | Green | Dense granular material, textile windings. |
| Type O | Blue | Very soft elastomers, textile windings, soft granular materials. Use below 20 Duro A. |
| Type OO | Black | Light foams, sponge rubber gels, animal tissue. |
