  • A: The test stand features a Data Interface RS-232 for bidirectional connection to a printer or PC. You can use suitable software provided by the manufacturer for data transfer.
• Q: Is it possible to save measurements within the test stand?
  • A: Yes, the test stand includes an internal memory where measurements can be saved for future reference or analysis.

Product Usage Instructions

Setting up the Test Stand:

• Place the SAUTER TI-HE test stand on a stable surface in a well-lit area.
• Ensure all components are securely attached.

Conducting Hardness Testing:

• Attach the appropriate hardness testing tool for either Shore A or Shore D scale.
• Apply the test force as specified for accurate measurements.

Using the Features

• Adjusting Program (CAL): Use an external adjusting weight for quick accuracy setting.
• Calibration Block: Standard for adjusting or correcting the measuring device.
• Peak Hold Function: Capture peak values during the measuring process.
• Scan Mode: Continuously capture and display measurements.
• Push and Pull: Measure tension and compression forces.

Features

• High-quality test stand for Shore hardness testing of plastics in industry and the laboratory
• 1. One test stand for two hardness scales: The test stand TI-HEA only requires the additional weight TI-HE to be screwed onto so it is also suitable for Shore D hardness tests, see Accessories
• 2. Level adjustment: For the precise levelling of the steel base plate, e.g. for the correction of inhomogeneous test objects
• Robust design enables accurate measuring movements
• 3. Simple handling means that you can achieve repeatable measuring results
• Hardness measuring device is not included with delivery

Technical data

• Maximum stroke length: 20 mm
• Maximum test object height: 50 mm
• Base plate ∅ 115 mm

Accessories

• 1. Option Shore D pour TI-HE: Additional weight for TI-HEA test stand, SAUTER TI-HE

• Statistics

  • Using the saved values, the device calculates statistical data, such as average value, standard deviation etc.

• PC Software

  • To transfer the measurement data from the device to a PC

• Printer

  • A printer can be connected to the device to print out the measurement data

• Network interface
