The measurement results with NextGen’s Pusey & Jones Portable Hardness Tester system can be obtained after a testing time of 60 seconds. This testing time complies with the ASTM D531 standard, which is the primary standard used for testing the hardness of rubber and rubber-like materials.

During the 60-second testing time, the specific test load of 9.8 N is applied to the specimen, and the electronic dial gauge on the instrument indicates the penetration depth directly in 0.00 mm units. Moreover, once the testing time is complete, the measurement results can be read directly on the user-friendly digital interface of the Pusey & Jones system.

The measurement results can also be displayed on a PC if the operator upgrades to the HardTest software. This software allows operators to generate reports in Excel and PDF format for optimal accuracy and ease of data management.
