Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester
Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester Overview
The Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester is a professional Digital Shore Hardness Tester for Shore hardness assessment using penetration measurement. The HD range, including the SAUTER HDA 100-1, is designed for checking the hardness of plastics and related materials, supporting quality control users who need clear digital readings for comparative material testing.
This instrument is suitable for Shore A testing on rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, vinyl, plastics, felt, leather and similar materials. It is used where material behaviour, consistency and batch comparison are important across plastics technology, medical technology, automotive, packaging and food industry applications.
Why Choose the Sauter HD Series?
The Sauter HD combines digital operation with a large backlit display, selectable AUTO-OFF or continuous operation and a battery level indicator. Supplied in a robust carrying case, it supports professional use in workshop, inspection and production environments, and can also be attached to the SAUTER TI-ACL test stand where a more controlled measuring setup is required.
Designed for Professional Shore A Hardness Checks
For UK quality teams, production inspectors and technical buyers, the Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester provides a practical solution for internal comparison measurements on elastomers, plastics and similar materials. It is particularly relevant where repeatable in-house material checks are required, while recognising that standard calibrations such as DIN 48-4 are not possible due to very narrow standard tolerances.

FAQs
What materials can the Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester measure?
Is this tester suitable for internal comparison measurements?
Can the Sauter HD be used with a test stand?
Can it be standard calibrated to DIN 48-4?
The supplied data states that standard calibrations, for example to DIN 48-4, are not possible because of very narrow standard tolerances.
