Durometer Operating Stands
Article No. 11763
Durometer Stand For Types A ,B, O, E
The PTC Hydraulic Durometer Operating Stands are precisely engineered and have a hydraulic damper that controls the rate of descent smoothly, without jump or stutter. The unit is activated with a simple smooth lever control. This stand is designed for serious testing eliminating operator variability and increased accuracy and repeatability. Whether in the lab or in a production environment you will get accurate and repeatable readings you can trust.
Features
The 7000A is compatible with durometer ASTM types C, D and DO
The 7000D is compatible with durometer ASTM types A, B, O, E and Asker Type C
The specimen support table is adjusted to test materials of various thicknesses. An O-ring fixture can also be used when testing O-rings.
Heavy-duty stand with a solid base for stability and a one-inch diameter Stainless Steel Precision Ground Support Shaft for accurate alignment
Accommodates both standard and pencil length durometers
Hydraulically Controlled Rate of Descent
Cam Actuated Raise and Lower
Adjustable Specimen Support Table
Eliminates User Error
Increases Accuracy
NIST Certification Included (7000D Only)
It is made with high precision components throughout. Including ball bearings, sintered bronze bushings and precision machined components
Will accept sample materials up to 3" (76mm) thick depending on the height of the durometer used

Procedure
Model 7000A - Operating Instructions for Pressor Foot Alignment ASTM Type A, C, E, O or Asker Type C
The specimen support table is adjusted to test materials of various thicknesses. An O-ring fixture can also be used when testing O-rings. Custom fixtures are also available.
- Place the Operating Stand on a solid level work surface
- Check to ensure surface is level with the bubble eye level provided
- Adjust the work bench surface accordingly
- Lower the specimen table down to the lowest position
- Mount the durometer on the Swivel Head Adapter by gently threading it on the 8-32 treaded screw.
- The durometer presser foot to specimen table parallelism should be verified before testing. This may be accomplished by applying the durometer presser foot to the point of contact with the setting block on the specimen table and making adjustments by way of the swivel head adapter. (Operating the instrument under adverse conditions will negatively affect the test measurements.)
Model 7000D - Operating Instructions for Pressor Foot Alignment ASTM Type B and D
- Lower the specimen table down to the lowest position.
- Mount the durometer on the Swivel Head Adapter by gently threading it on the 8-32 treaded screw. Conical indenters (ASTM Type B and D) are easily damaged by making contact directly to the specimen table without a test specimen. Exercise caution when leveling the table.
- Place the setting block with 3/16" hole on the specimen table. Be sure to use the side with the .025" chamfer facing up.
- Position the Durometer within 1/4" above the setting block
- Release the operating handle allowing the durometer to settle on the setting block with the indenter placed in the 3/16" hole of the setting block. This protects the tip of the indenter from damage.
- Grasp the lower portion of the durometer body with the thumb and index finger and adjust the pressor foot so that it is flush with the setting block.
- Tighten the swivel head screw while holding the durometer body in position.
- Return the handle to the starting position.
- Remove the setting block.
- Set table height about 3/8" below durometer pressor foot.
Note: The durometer pressor foot parallelism to the specimen table should be verified before each series of hardness testing or if it is known the durometer is not parallel to the specimen table.
