Mold Hardness Tester B-Scale

The instrument is portable, lightweight and easy to operate. It incorporates an LCD display that clearly indicates the hardness number and completely eliminates any operator error associated with reading a mechanical scale. The instrument automatically records the maximum penetration value. The Electronic Mold Hardness Tester can be easily calibrated. Basic Package: Electronic Mold Hardness Tester AAA Rechargeable NiMH Battery Carrying Case Software Functions: Store and display date of last calibration Store and display username Basic point to point mode Mode of Operation: Point to Point Mode – Allows the operator to measure and record one mold hardness reading per test. The basic Electronic Mold Hardness Tester cannot store any data in memory. This instrument will display, for a defined time, the resultant mold hardness value in the LCD. Mold hardness, as determined by this instrument, is the resistance offered by the surface of a prepared sand mold to be penetrated by a loaded plunger. The instrument measures the depth of penetration into a mold surface of a plunger having a load applied at a 90-degree angle to the mold surface.

The advanced version of the Mold Hardness Tester, model 42142ADV includes additional components for calibration and an infrared receiver assembly for the digital download of stored data.
