ASKER Durometer |

|
- ASKER Durometer Type F
- Urethane Foam
- Sponge Non-woven Fabric
Exclusive type for foam materials, allowing measurement by placing the tester on the object of measurement. In addition to Model F, Model FP is available for powder puff. |
 |

|
- Model C & Model C2
- Soft Rubber
- Urethane Rubber
- Sponge
- Wound threads (yarn package)
- Rolled Films
- Potter's Clay (Kaolin)
Model C is intended for hardness measurement of Soft Rubber, sponge, foamed elastomers, wound threads(yarn package), rolled films, potter's clay(kaolin) and other such soft materials.For even softer materials, Model C2 is available. |
 |

|
This features larger indentor and a more strong spring compared to Model C, thereby making it more suitable for polystyrene foam |
 |

|
- ASKER Durometer Type A
- Rubber in general
- Softer plastics
Has been used for wide applications since being standardized in the ISO. |
 |
 |
The mainstream product used world-wide for measuring various kinds of rubbers, and specified in the standards of JIS K 6253-3, ASTM D 2240, ISO 48-4, DIN53505, etc. |

|
 |
Used world-wide for measuring hard rubbers and plastics, and specified in the standards of JIS K 6253-3, ASTM D 2240, ISO 48-4, DIN53505, etc. |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type C
- soft rubber,
- urethane foam,
- sponge,
- rubber roller,
- rolled-threads,
- pottery clay
Widely used for measuring soft rubber, sponges, and other foam elastomers, as well as rolled-threads, -films and textile windings (yarn packages). |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type C1L
- soft rubber,
- urethane foam,
- sponge,
- rubber roller,
- rolled-threads,
- -pottery clay
Widely used for measuring soft rubber, sponges, and other foam elastomers, as well as rolled-threads, -films and textile windings (yarn packages). |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type E
- soft rubber,
- urethane foam,
- rubber roller
Widely used for measuring soft rubber, sponges, and other foam elastomers, as well as rolled-threads, -films and textile windings (yarn packages). |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type EL
- soft rubber,
- urethane foam,
- rubber roller
Widely used for measuring soft rubber, sponges, and other foam elastomers, as well as rolled-threads, -films and textile windings (yarn packages). |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type C2L
- soft rubber,
- urethane foam,
- sponge,
- rolled-threads,
- film rolls and pottery clay
|

|

|
- ASKER Durometer Type JAL
- Rubber in general (Especially for measurement of recessed surfaces)
Especially useful for recessed and/or smaller measurement areas. In addition to the standard Model JAL, long presser foot types are available for other Model applications. |
 |

|
- ASKER Durometer Type B
- Semi-rigid Rubber
- Unglazed pottery clay
It uses the same spring load used in Model A. It adopts a conical indentor similar to that of Model D, so as to be applicable to harder measuring objects than can be measured by Model A. It is useful for hardness measurement of unglazed pottery clay and ceramics in green condition. |
 |

|
Model JC has those hardness testers described in JIS K 6301 as 'suitable for samples found to have a hardness value above 70 according to Model A'. It features a higher resolution for hardness measurement of hard rubber. |
 |

|
Similar to Model A, this model is defined as 'Durometer Type D' as described in various domestic and international standards. It is in widespread use for hardness measurement of plastics and hard rubber. |
 |
 |
The ASKER Durometer Type F is specified exclusively for powder puff. |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type CSC2
It is suitable for foam materials such as soft sponges, plastic foams, etc as the cylindrical indentor presses the specimen across the extended surface. |

|
 |
- ASKER Durometer Type BL
- Semi-rigid rubber,
- Earthenware clay
It is used for measuring harder specimens, such as earthenware clay or mossed pottery, than the Type A durometer, because the indentor is spring-loaded as in the ASKER Type A, but is a conical shape as in the ASKER Type D. |
