1700橡胶硬度计

Introduced in 1965, the Model 1700 was designed to enable the user to observe and measure the “creep” present in a specimen.

Creep refers to the tendency of the durometer reading to decrease over a period of seconds after the initial reading is taken. This occurs because the spring-loaded durometer indentor may continue to penetrate the specimen as the gauge is held against the surface (depending on the type of material being tested). For example, in a specimen where creep is present, the initial reading may be 35.0 durometer points, while the reading after three seconds may be 33.5 durometer points. The Model 1700 features a max-hand, and an active-hand, so that creep may be observed. The max-hand holds the maximum reading, while the active-hand can be observed creeping down the scale. The 1700 is equipped with a max-hand reset button on the top left of the gauge.
