Description: The Max-Hand 2000 durometer is Rex Gauge Co.'s latest innovation for the testing of specimens with creep. The Max-Hand 2000 has a max- hand and an active hand for observing the creep characteristics of a specimen. What makes the Model 2000 unique is the magnetic-drag maximum reset mechanism. The user simply rotates the reset knob on the front of the gauge to clear the previous reading. The simplicity of the reset mechanism ensures a lifetime of use, and makes the Max- Hand 2000 the most affordable durometer for testing specimens with creep.

Durometers are described in the American Society for Testing and Material specification ASTM D2240, which is the recognized specification for the instrument and test procedures. There are a number of brands of durometers, all of which must conform to the same ASTM specifications if they are to be known as genuine Durometers. Sometimes a Durometer Scale may be referred to by its' brand name. The "A" scale is the Durometer A scale (or type A) and all brands will, or should, give interchangeable readings. <h2>Hardness and other Related Characteristics</h2> The Durometer Hardness test is nondestructive and the small instrument size, with no need for elaborate specimen preparation, makes it an ideal method for checking materials under any condition with accuracy and reliability.All durometers have a springloaded indentor which applies an indentation load to the specimen, thus sensing the "hardness", which can be related to other material characteristics. Use of a Durometer provides a quick yet accurate way to indirectly measure other material properties, such as tensile modulus, resilience, plasticity, compression resistance, and elasticity. It is relatively simple to determine the correlation between Durometer hardness and other properties for a given material. A set of specimens of the material (or family of materials) is first tested on a standard tester for property desired, eg. tensile strength. A set of Durometer readings for the same samples is then observed and noted. Thereafter, only the Durometer hardness need be observed on similar material specimens to obtain a reasonable measure of the other property. Some properties correlate exactly, while others are sufficiently close for practical use as an initial quality control or materials engineering test. <h2>Calibration, Checking, Etc.</h2> "My Durometer rests below zero, is it out of calibration?"-This is a common question asked by many first-time durometer users. The answer to the question, in most cases, is no. Certain Rex gauges and models rest at roughly six points below zero: this is because the gauges are made in accordance with ASTM D2240, which states that some Durometers have a preload of 56g at a zero reading. Therefore, a Durometer giving a less-than-zero reading at rest is not out of calibration. To make a simple calibration check, take a reading on smooth glass or steel (WARNING: THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR TYPE D DUROMETERS-THE GAUGE MAY BE SEVERELY DAMAGED). The gauge should read within ½ point of 100. In a Rex Durometer, the unique built-in linearity assures the gauge is in proper calibration throughout the entire scale. Should a Rex Durometer not give the above reading on a smooth, hard surface, it may be assumed that the Durometer has been damaged, and it should be sent to Rex for inspection and/or repair. <h2>Testing Procedures</h2> Because Durometers measure hardness by relating the penetration of an indentor into a specimen, and because the indentor travel may reach .100", it follows that a specimen must be of sufficient thickness to ensure a proper, sensitive test. Generally, samples to be tested should not be less than 1/4" (6mm) thick. Exceptions may be made for harder materials because the indentor is at less than half stroke. For example, a material that checks near 80 durometer points can be as thin as .118" (3mm), because the indentor will only extend out .020" during testing. What must be avoided is a specimen so thin that the indentor may sense the hardness of the underlying surface. This will give a false reading due to the "anvil effect". The Rex type M durometer can be used when checking materials thinner than ¼" (as thin as .050"). When testing flat specimens too thin to give accurate readings, the specimens may be stacked to provide the required thickness. In addition to sufficient thickness for testing, sufficient material around the sides of the indentor must be present. With soft materials, a minimum 1/4" (6mm) is recommended. Hence, all Rex Durometers are made with a 1/2" diameter foot which provides the necessary area of contact. Rex offers an extended foot useful for testing very soft materials, or for enhancing repeatability in a lab-type environment.<script type="text/javascript"> </script> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <LI>Order Number: R2000-AW; R2000-BW; R2000-CW; R2000-DW; R2000-DOW; R2000-OW Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Category38" TITLE="Hardness Testers">Hardness Testers</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product584 TITLE="ARK-600 Hardness Tester">ARK-600 Hardness Tester</A> -- Mitutoyo <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product585 TITLE="New Rockwell & Rockwell Superficial">New Rockwell & Rockwell Superficial</A> -- Mitutoyo <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product380 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation CR-8">Sun-Tec Corporation CR-8</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product377 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation AA-01-CR Series">Sun-Tec Corporation AA-01-CR Series</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product382 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation DTLC-3000">Sun-Tec Corporation DTLC-3000</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product385 TITLE="Starrett EDP 67754">Starrett EDP 67754</A> -- Starrett <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product387 TITLE="Mitutoyo HR-521">Mitutoyo HR-521</A> -- Mitutoyo <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product388 TITLE="Mitutoyo 800 Series">Mitutoyo 800 Series</A> -- Mitutoyo <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product390 TITLE="Mitutoyo 810 201 A">Mitutoyo 810 201 A</A> -- Mitutoyo <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product374 TITLE="Manual Micro Hardness Tester">Manual Micro Hardness Tester</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product381 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation CV Series">Sun-Tec Corporation CV Series</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product378 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation CDR-95102">Sun-Tec Corporation CDR-95102</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product379 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation CPT Series">Sun-Tec Corporation CPT Series</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product383 TITLE="NewAge Portable Hardness Tester">NewAge Portable Hardness Tester</A> -- NewAge <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product280 TITLE="Rex2000 Durometer">Rex2000 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product281 TITLE="Rex2100 Durometer">Rex2100 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product283 TITLE="Rex-DD-3 Durometer">Rex-DD-3 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product544 TITLE="Rex-DD-3 Hardness Testers">Rex-DD-3 Hardness Testers</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product286 TITLE="Rex Res-H1000 Durometer">Rex Res-H1000 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product287 TITLE="Rex1500 Durometer">Rex1500 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product289 TITLE="Rex1600 Durometer">Rex1600 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product290 TITLE="Rex1700 Durometer">Rex1700 Durometer</A> -- Rex <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product375 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation SBS Microscope Brinell">Sun-Tec Corporation SBS Microscope Brinell</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product376 TITLE="Sun-Tec Corporation King Scan III">Sun-Tec Corporation King Scan III</A> -- Sun-Tec Corporation <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac/Product291 TITLE="Rex Kits- Complete O-Ring Hardness Kit">Rex Kits- Complete O-Ring Hardness Kit</A> -- Rex <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/bcmac" TITLE="MeasureNOW Products">MeasureNOW Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.measurenow.com">MeasureNOW</A> MeasureNOW <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
