Four models of the H17A Shore Hardness Tester are offered:
H17A/1, the basic stand-alone instrument
H17A/2, with printer
H17A/3, with printer and data input terminal
H17A/PC, with PC link and Windows compatible software
The design, the result of considerable consultation with customers, is robust and constructed from aluminium castings which with anti-vibration feet results in exceptional stability.
A major feature of the design is the ease of access in the sample area. A range of Quick Change Tables has been designed to locate different sample cross sections or to locate special jigs and fixtures.
After pressing the start button the Shore ‘A’ Scale Hardness Tester operates completely automatically. The result is held on the display at the conclusion of each test.
All versions conform to many National and International Standards.

Rubber Hardness Test Blocks are available in 5 scales – IRHD (Macro), IRHD (Micro), shore A, D and M. they are manufactured from high quality rubber formulated to resist the ageing effects on hardness of temperature and time. The test blocks are for use as a check to ensure instruments are functioning properly and read correctly. They are not intended as standards with specific hardness values. Test blocks should be returned to Wallace every 12 months for re-calibaration.
