Indentation Hardness Tester Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TE-13260
Quick Answer: The Indentation Hardness Tester is used to measure the indentation hardness of foam, PU foam, rubberized coir and latex foam. The specimen sits on a shear beam type load cell and is pressed by an indentor, with compression and load shown on digital readouts.

Key Features
- Test specimen kept over a shear beam type load cell
- Indentor of specified dimension mounted on a self-aligning ball bearing, so it adjusts its inclination to the top face of the specimen
- Indentor moved down manually through a hand wheel and screw arrangement, or by a motor and gear box
- Thickness measured on a strip scale
- Compression measured on a digital indicator
- Corresponding load shown on the digital readout of the load cell

About This Product
Indentation hardness describes how firm a cushioning material feels. In the test, an indentor presses into the specimen and the load needed to produce a given compression is read from the load cell. The self-aligning mounting lets the indentor sit flat on the top face of the specimen. In textile and materials labs the test is used to compare foam, PU foam, rubberized coir and latex foam, and to link the firmness of a cushion to a measured load.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which materials is the Indentation Hardness Tester used for?
It is used for the indentation hardness measurement of foam, PU foam, rubberized coir and latex foam.
Q2. How are thickness, compression and load read?
Thickness is read on a strip scale, compression on a digital indicator and the corresponding load on the digital readout of the load cell.
Q3. How is the indentor lowered?
It can be moved down manually through a hand wheel and screw arrangement, as well as by a motor and gear box.
