DIGITAL DUROMETERS - HPE III SERIES

Bareiss DIGITAL DUROMETERS - HPE III SERIES for Application-Based Model Selection

These models are designed for routine testing, inspection, and quality-control workflows, where the right choice often depends on differences in configuration, range, portability, and application fit. 

The HPE was designed for testing on flat-surfaced samples with a thickness of ≥ 6 mm, acc. DIN ISO 48-2

HPE III digital durometer made in Germany by Bareiss is renowned for its highest accuracy and reproducibility, this digital durometer adheres to industry standards such as ASTM D2240, DIN, and ISO 48. Its portable design incorporates unique features that establish it as the most reliable shore durometer available.

While the device is taking a hardness value from the specimen, a temperature sensor mounted on the bottom of the device is taking a temperature value.

HPE III Handheld Durometer for Shore

The device will have an indication of both values as well as the values of the ambient temperature and humidity. Historical measurements can be displayed for the hardness values and date/time when each measurement was taken.

A Large LCD display for reading comfort, USB connection for data transfer and battery recharge, and a patented handgrip for achieving correct measuring angle and amount of force are all standard features on HPE III.
