The EST-HS2 is a manual durometer test operating stand designed to perform Shore hardness tests. It provides a stable, repeatable cam-type loading/unloading mechanism and a lift-adjustable measuring rod for consistent indenter contact with specimens.
The stand is designed to test various types of Shore hardness. It accepts most standard handheld Shore durometers, but you should verify the durometer's mounting dimensions against the stand's throat depth and holder before use.
Cam-type loading applies and removes load smoothly and consistently, reducing operator variability and improving repeatability of hardness measurements compared with manually pressing the durometer by hand.
Loading stroke: 18 mm; maximum specimen thickness: 60 mm; throat depth: 65 mm; lifting adjustment: screw; workbench adjustment: three-point leveling; net weight: 5.6 kg (excluding accessory weights); package weight: 7.6 kg.
Operation is manual: the indenter of the mounted durometer is pressed against the sample using the stand's cam mechanism. The measuring rod height is adjusted by lifting and secured with the screw adjustment.
Place the durometer in the provided mounting bracket or holder, align the indenter with the specimen, adjust the measuring rod height with the screw adjustment, level the table using the three-point leveling, then use the cam to bring the indenter into contact.
The stand supports specimens up to 60 mm thick and fits samples within a 65 mm throat depth. Flat, stable surfaces give the most reliable results; curved or very small/irregular samples may require fixtures or supporting blocks.
No. The EST-HS2 is manually operated and does not require electrical power.
Use the three-point leveling adjustment on the workbench to ensure a stable, level testing surface before each series of measurements. Tighten all clamps and the screw adjustment to prevent movement during testing.
Keep the stand clean and free of debris, periodically lubricate the screw and cam pivot points as recommended by the manufacturer, inspect mounting hardware for wear, and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
Yes. The product includes a 1-year warranty. Customized OEM support is also available.
The EST-HS2 is manufactured in China and is sold under the Micrometry brand (model EST-HS2).
The net weight of the stand is 5.6 kg (excluding additional accessory weights). The packaged weight is approximately 7.6 kg (excluding certain accessory weights).
The stand is an accessory providing stable loading. Calibration pertains to the durometer itself. Calibrate the durometer regularly according to applicable standards; ensure the stand is functioning correctly and providing consistent loading.
Yes, when used with the appropriate Shore durometer scale for the material. The stand provides stable loading, but you should select the correct scale (e.g., Shore A, D) and follow standard specimen preparation and testing procedures for reliable results.
