FAQ's of TEST-401 Hardness Tester:

Q: How does the TEST-401 Hardness Tester operate?

A: The tester operates using the indentation hardness principle, where a calibrated force is applied to a specimen via a push button automated mechanism. Hardness value is determined based on the material's resistance to indentation, with results shown instantly on the digital LCD display.

Q: What materials can be tested with this instrument?

A: The TEST-401 is suitable for testing rubber, plastics, and elastomers. It covers a Shore A hardness range of 10 to 90, ensuring reliable measurements for a variety of flexible and semi-flexible materials.

Q: When should standard calibration be performed?

A: Calibration should be carried out regularly or whenever accuracy verification is required, using the supplied standard calibration block to ensure the highest precision in each test.

Q: Where can this hardness tester be used?

A: With its benchtop design and robust construction, the TEST-401 is ideal for laboratory and industrial applications, particularly in quality assurance, research, and production environments.

Q: What is the process for conducting a hardness test?

A: Prepare a specimen with at least 6 mm thickness and 35 mm diameter, place it in the tester, and initiate measurement via the push button. The instrument automatically executes the indentation and displays the result on the digital LCD within one second.

Q: What are the benefits of using the TEST-401 Hardness Tester?

A: This tester provides fast and dependable hardness measurements, minimizes operator error through automated testing, and facilitates data management with digital output. Its compliance with RoHS standards and user-centric features deliver efficient and safe operation.
