The ASKER Durometer Type C, produced since 1956, is our original brand durometer, and is a de facto standard in the world for the measurement of soft rubber, sponges, etc. Widely used for measuring soft rubber, sponges, and other foam elastomers, as well as rolled-threads, -films and textile windings (yarn packages).
The Pressure foot in contact with the specimen is 44mm in width and 18mm in depth, wide enough to ensure accurate measurement. The Longer Pressure Foot Type (C1L type)is applicable for measurement of narrow or concave specimens.
