Combined IRHD / Shore hardness tester
The ZwickRoell 3105 combi test is a microcomputer-controlled hardness tester with very high measurement accuracy in multiple IRHD (plus IRHD ss supersoft) and Shore measurement ranges. The combi test hardness tester is suitable for standard compliant testing in accordance with ASTM D2240 & ISO 48-4, ISO 868, NFT 51 123, NF 46 003 and ASTM D1415 & ISO 48-2.
