The Model DD-5 digital
durometer features the DuroTimer, an adjustable measurement timer with onscreen countdown.
Microspec's inline multi-durometer extrusion technology, however, "allows two alternating
durometer sections to be joined continuously during the extrusion process, ensuring gradual transition from one
durometer to another," explains Timothy Steele, founder and CEO of Microspec (microspeccorporation.com).
WHEN Amphenol, one of the world's largest manufacturers of interconnect products, wanted to develop a new P-clamp for mission-critical cable harnesses, it used the same mechanical design of its original high performance P-clamps, made with Victrex Peek polymer, but instead used a softer
durometer silicone rubber for the clamp cushioning.
If the nip roller is too soft (75-80
durometer), Shore A may cause the image area of the nip to become concave, creating a fish eye or air bubble.
Available in both its Duralast and Superlast wheels, the new polyurethane compound rolls easier under load and carries 30 percent more capacity than the industry standard 95
durometer (shore A).
Zeotherm 100-70B, at 75 Shore A
durometer, provides the high heat and oil resistance needed by the automotive and industrial markets, providing continuous (3000-hr) resistance to 150[degrees]C, with spike temperature resistance to 175[degrees]C, according to the company.
It is offered in 64A
durometer and is well suited for outdoor use.
Hard-Line tees feature a barb designed for use with harder
durometer tubing such as polyethylene 55 Shore D and polypropropylene 80
durometer.
It comes in three
durometers and multiple diameters--50 Series (55
durometer) is yellow; the 60 series (65
durometer) is green and the 70 series (75
durometer) is red.
Rather their customer--whose idea it was to use a two-shot molding of different
durometer materials for the handle of his high-line product--wouldn't budge.
Durethane C is a machinable, so]id thermoset polyurethane that can be custom-formulated in wide ranges of conductivity and
durometer. Available in sheets, bars, rods and tubes, the material is also available as custom-manufactured components and in foam formulations.
