The WESTport Rex H-1000 Mini- Dial Durometer is both compact and easy to use. Its small dial face and included leather clip-on carrying case make it easy for an inspector to carry the gauge for work around the shop or out in the field. The H-1000 durometer holds the maximum reading until reset by pressing the button at the top of the gauge. The max-hold feature and small dial size make the H-1000 a good choice for hard to reach places, or for out of sight testing.

The Max-Hand 2000 durometer is WESTport Rex Gauges 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.

For the technician that must perform hardness tests on various types of non-metallic materials, WESTport Rex Gauge Company introduces the Multi-Scale durometer test kit. The Multi-Scale base kit consists of a Rex Type A durometer along with your choice of one of more color-coded barrel adapters for D, B, C, DO, O, OO or OOO scales (see chart for applications).

Changing scales is accomplished by unscrewing one barrel and replacing it with another. There is no supplementary calibration or adjustments required. A rubber test block calibrated to the selected scale is also included with the durometer. The rubber test block allows the user to perform quick functional checks on the instrument. The indicator and barrels are made in the USA, and are calibrated to the ASTM-D2240 standard for durometer hardness testers.

Features:

• Color-coded barrel adapters for D, B, C, DO, O, OO or OOO scales are sold separately.

Tire hardness is a critical factor in setting up a race car. A tire that's too hard may sacrifice traction, while a tire that's too soft may give great traction but wear too quickly and an unmatched set of tires may result in an ill handling car. To properly set up a car, a measure of tire hardness is necessary. The easiest and most cost-effective way to obtain such a measure is to use a durometer.

The Type A durometer as specified by ASTM D-2240 is the gauge used by tire manufacturers to measure hardness of tire rubber. The gauge gives readings of hardness in durometer points on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the hardest reading. Some race tires come from the factory with the durometer hardness noted on the side wall but factors such as ambient temperature, track temperature, usage, and age of the tire can change the actual hardness of the tire from the factory hardness.

WESTport Rex Gauge Model# 2100 Tire Durometer allows racers to quickly and accurately make checks of tire hardness. Unlike other "racing durometers" (which are just relative hardness gauges), the Rex 2100 is calibrated to the ASTM D-2240 standard for durometer hardness and is traceable to N.I.S.T. Thus, the Rex 2100 allows comparison with the factory tire specifications.

The 2100 is a handheld gauge weighing only 4.2 oz. The indicator case, bezel, and barrel are all billet machined aluminum. The billet construction and the craftsmanship that goes into the Model 2100 provide the user with the most reliable guage available today. The durometer comes complete with with a carrying case and a one year warranty.

Note: Rex Gauge Durometer Models 1500, H-1000, and 2100 are not recommended for use with operating stands or constant load weights.

Features:

• Includes NIST Certification

Since Type "A" durometers test rubber and other softer non-metallics, it is possible for the user to imbed the foot of the durometer into the test specimen and obtain false readings. To obtain accurate readings using a durometer, one must develop the proper "feel" for the gauge. WESTport Rex Gauges Test Block Kit (TBK-1) gives the user the ability to develop the proper "feel", and, while it is not to be used for calibration purposes, it enables the user to perform a quick check for proper durometer operation. The kit consists of seven color-coded test blocks each of which measures ¼" x 2" x 2". The blocks are calibrated in our state of the art laboratory and correspond to durometer values of 30 pts. to 90 pts. in increments of 10. The rubber test block kit is comes in a sturdy magnetic-latching carrying case with the hardness readings for each block on the inside cover of the case. A certificate of conformance is also available for users who need documentation of traceability to NIST. Single test blocks for other durometer scales are also available.

Since Type OO and OOO durometers test soft rubber, foams, gels and other very soft non-metallics, it is possible for the user to imbed the foot of the gauge into the test specimen and obtain false readings. To obtain accurate readings using a durometer, the operator must develop a proper "feel" for the gauge. WESTport Rex Gauges Test Block Kit for OO and OOO durometers gives the user the ability to develop the proper "feel". While not to be used for calibration purposes, the kit also enables the user to perform a quick check for the proper operation of the durometer. The kit consists of three color-coded test blocks each measuring 1/4" x 2" x 2". The test block kit is furnished with a sturdy magnetic-latching carrying case with the true readings for each block on the inside cover of the case. A certificate of conformance is also available for users who need documentation of traceability to NIST.

The Type D durometer tests the hardness of hard rubber and plastics. To obtain accurate readings using a durometer, one must develop a proper "feel" for the gauge. WESTport Rex Gauges Test Block Kit for D durometers gives the user the ability to develop the proper "feel". While not to be used for calibration purposes, the kit also enables the user to perform a quick check for the proper operation of the durometer. The kit consists of three color-coded test blocks each measuring 1/4" x 2" x 2". The test block kit is furnished with a sturdy magnetic-latching carrying case with the true readings for each block on the inside cover of the case. A certificate of conformance is also available for users who need documentation of traceability to NIST.
