Compact Analogue Shore Hardness Testers for Foam, Plastics and Rubbers
The Sauter HB range provides reliable handheld Shore durometers designed for quick and precise hardness testing of non-metallic materials. Ideal for internal quality checks, each tester includes a drag pointer to capture peak readings and comes in a protective carry case for portability.
Each model is calibrated to one of three Shore scales—A, D, or A0—making them suitable for applications across foam, plastics, elastomers, and rubber. With a lightweight design and clear analogue dial, the Sauter HB range is trusted for spot checks and in-house comparison measurements.
