The Elcometer 3120 range of Shore A and Shore D Durometers is widely used to test the hardness of soft materials.
A round point indents the material under a fixed force spring and the hardness is displayed on the dial in Shore Hardness Units.
The instrument can be either hand-held or fitted to an optional stand for increased repeatability.
Note: The Elcometer 3120 range of Shore Durometers encompasses a number of hardness values. Please refer to the table below.
