When searching for a Shore A and D durometer system we were needing a combination of a portable shore durometer system and a shore durometer stand for our in lab quality testing on rubber and plastic polymers. Finding accurate Shore A and D durometer system was a priority for our laboratory due to the nature of tests that we do on daily basis. Additionally, we required a long-lasting unit because of our testing needs for 100-150 specimens on any given day. Tom, the quality engineering consultant at NextGen, did a wonderful job with us. He first found out what shore durometer system technical requirements we have. He then provided us with a solution that was both cost-effective, robust and accurate. We ended up purchasing the NG-306L – Shore A Durometer as well as NG-307L Shore D Durometer alongside the NG-7000 Hydraulic stand series for our bench top needs. The shore measuring systems are accurate and ergonomic. Contrary to the popular belief the read outs on the analogue display are clear and concise. To add to the compliments, the pricing was fantastic and because they items were in stock we had received our systems within 2 business days.
