Sauter HB Analogue Shore Hardness Tester Overview

The Sauter HB Analogue Shore Hardness Tester is a compact handheld durometer for analogue Shore hardness testing and measurement of penetration using the Shore method. As part of the Sauter HB range, it supports internal comparison measurement where users need a practical, easy-to-handle instrument for checking material hardness behaviour in relevant production and inspection settings.

This analogue Shore hardness tester is particularly suited to Shore A0 applications such as foam, sponge and similar materials. It is used across plastics technology, medical technology, automotive, packaging and food industry environments where comparative hardness checks support material assessment, incoming inspection and production control.

Why Choose the Sauter HB Series?

The HB series combines handheld operation with a drag indicator for peak value indication, helping users read maximum penetration results during practical testing. Its compact format and compatibility with the SAUTER TI-AC test stand make it useful for both mobile checks and more controlled bench-based comparison measurements.

Designed for Professional Shore Testing

For UK quality control teams, inspection departments and production users, the Sauter HB provides a straightforward analogue option for internal Shore hardness comparison work. Supplied in a plastic box, it is suitable for professional environments that require a portable Shore hardness tester for routine material checks without unnecessary complexity.
