Handheld Durometer Stand
The Wallace Handheld Durometer Stand enables accurate and repeatable results in accordance with the relevant standards. The easy height and weight adjustment make it simple to measure non-standard products.
The stand easily adapts to support a range of durometers, both analogue and digital (including Shore A, Shore D and Shore OO).
Handheld Durometers
Wallace offers both analogue and digital Handheld Durometers (including Shore A, Shore D and Shore OO). These durometers enable accurate and repeatable results in accordance with the relevant standards. All models are designed for handheld applications or in conjunction with the Wallace Handheld Durometer Stand (WAH18).
IRHD Macro Hardness Tester - H14
The H14 Macro IRHD Hardness Tester is a digital, fully automatic bench mounted instrument whichallows accurate and repeatable measurements of larger samples.
IRHD Macro Test Blocks - H10
Each set consists of six rectangular blocks of rubber approx. 50 x 60 x 8 mm. Each block is identified by a lettered tab relating to the hardness values specified in the lid of the box. Only the identified surface should be used for testing.
IRHD Micro Hardness Tester - H12
This advanced Windows based software package controls the instrument and allows data to be exported to most commercial spreadsheets, word processors and databases. Saving hours of tedious data entry.
IRHD Micro Test Blocks - H11
The H11 Test Blocks conform to the Micro Test Specification of the following standards: BS 903 Pt A26, ISO 48, ASTM D1415 and JIS 6253. Each set consists of four rectangular blocks of rubber approx. 25 x 25 x 2 mm.

Sample Tables for Wallace Hardness Testers
Shore A Scale Hardness Tester - H17A
The H17A Shore A Scale Hardness Tester is available in four different models. The design, the result of considerable consultation with customers, is robust and constructed from aluminium castings which with anti-vibration feet results in exceptional stability.
Shore A Test Blocks - H10A
Each set consists of six rectangular blocks of rubber approx. 50 x 60 x 8 mm. Each block is identified by a lettered tab relating to the hardness values specified in the lid of the box. Only the identified surface should be used for testing.
Shore D Scale Hardness Tester - H17D
The H17D is a bench mounted instrument which measures the hardness of rubber and plastics and displays the result in Shore D scale values. After pressing the start button, the instrument operates automatically and the test result is displayed at the end of the test.
Shore M Scale Hardness Tester - H17M
The H17M Shore 'A' Scale Hardness Tester is available in three different models. The design, the result of considerable consultation with customers, is robust and constructed from aluminium castings which with anti-vibration feet results in exceptional stability.
