The TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester (part number TH5431) is a handheld instrument for testing the hardness of hard plastics and rubbers on the Shore D scale. Material hardness governs how a component resists indentation and wear, so a reliable Shore D reading helps confirm that mouldings, profiles and rubber parts meet specification before they go into service.
The TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester uses a built-in displacement sensor to measure indentation hardness across a range of 0 to 100HD, with a stated tolerance of less than or equal to plus or minus HD across 20 to 90HD. Readings appear on a 1.3-inch OLED display with a 128 x 64 graphic dot matrix. Two testing modes are provided: a real-time mode and a peak-value-lock mode for capturing the maximum reading. Up to 200 groups of average peak values can be stored on the TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester, and pre-set upper and lower limits with an out-of-limit alarm support batch testing.
A USB interface connects the TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester to a PC, and optional data processing software outputs results in Microsoft Word or Excel for quality control and management reports. An optional operation stand is available for repeatable bench testing of the TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester. The unit measures 173 x 56 x 42mm, weighs 200g, runs on a built-in rechargeable lithium battery and operates from 0 to 40 degrees C, with an adjustable automatic shutdown. The TIME TH5431 Digital Shore D Durometer Hardness Tester is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.

When to use the TIME TH5431 Shore D Durometer
Use the TH5431 when you are testing the hardness of hard plastics and rubbers on the Shore D scale. It reads 0 to 100 HD on a 1.3-inch OLED display, offers real-time and peak-value-lock modes, and outputs to a printer and PC for quality-control reports.
- 1Sized for hard materialsThe Shore D scale is intended for hard plastics and rubbers, the materials this durometer is built to test.
- 2Two modes for the jobReal-time and peak-value-lock modes let you watch a reading settle or capture the peak, matching how different specifications require the value to be taken.
- 3Batch testing with alarmsPreset upper and lower limits with an out-of-limit alarm flag failures during batch testing, so the operator does not have to read every value manually.
