FAQs

What materials can the Sauter HD Digital Shore Hardness Tester measure?

Choose HDA 100-1 for Shore A materials such as rubber and elastomers, or HDD 100-1 for harder Shore D plastics and resins.

Is this tester suitable for internal comparison measurements?

Yes, the supplied data particularly recommends it for internal comparison measurement.

Can the Sauter HD be used with a test stand?

Yes. Use HDA 100-1 with the SAUTER TI-ACL test stand and HDD 100-1 with the TI-DL.

Can it be standard calibrated to DIN 48-4?

An optional GNW Instrumentation calibration certificate is available. We compare the tester’s readings with certified hardness test blocks under a controlled applied load and report the reference values, instrument readings and measurement errors. This comparison testing does not certify compliance with DIN ISO 48-4. If your inspection procedure requires calibration to a specific standard, contact us before ordering to confirm suitability.
