FAQs of Elcometer Shore Durometer:

Q: How do I use the Elcometer 313 Shore Durometer correctly?

A: To use the Elcometer 313, place it firmly against the surface of your specimen ensuring minimum thickness of 6 mm. Apply a steady, uniform pressure manually with a single smooth stroke to obtain an immediate reading on the analog dial. Avoid multiple strokes to maintain accuracy.

Q: What industries and applications is the Elcometer 313 suitable for?

A: This durometer is ideal for quality control, material testing, and research laboratories, especially in the rubber and plastics industry. It is also widely used by exporters, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers for quality assurance of non-metallic materials.

Q: When should I consider recalibrating the Elcometer 313?

A: The instrument is factory calibrated and ready to use upon delivery. However, for sustained accuracy, periodic verification using calibration blocks or standards according to your quality protocols is recommended, especially after extended use or accidental dropping.

Q: Where can the Elcometer 313 be used given its operating conditions?

A: Due to its portability and manual operation, the Elcometer 313 can be used both in laboratories and on-site, provided the environment stays within 0 to 50C temperature and 0-80% non-condensing relative humidity.

Q: What is the process for taking hardness measurements with this device?

A: Place the durometer vertically on the test specimen ensuring only the indentor touches the surface. Press the device downward manually until it sits flat, then read the hardness value shown on the analog dial. One test per specimen is recommended to avoid inconsistencies.

Q: What are the key benefits of the Elcometer 313 durometers design?

A: With its ergonomic, anodized aluminum construction and no dependence on batteries or external power, the durometer is both comfortable to use and highly portable. Its analog display offers immediate, precise hardness values, simplifying onsite and laboratory testing workflows.

Q: How does the measuring range differ between Shore A and Shore D models?

A: The Shore A model measures soft to medium hardness materials like rubber, while the Shore D model measures harder plastics. Both models cover a full 0 to 100 Shore unit range, selectable based on your specific testing requirements.
