The ASKER Durometer Type CS is designed to decrease false readings of measurements for polystyrene foam by simultaneously deforming multiple granular foams.
The larger indentor and stronger spring than those of the ASKER Type C enable the stable measurement of large-sized granular particles such as polystyrene foam.

Pressure foot
A 50mm diameter pressure foot in contact with a specimen, is wide enough to offer stable measurement.
Hardness Tester Selection Chart
Our product line consists of various types of durometers applicable to specific materials as indicated in the chart above.
Type A Durometer (ASKER A type), conforming to JIS K 6253-3 is the most popular type of durometer for measuring rubber hardness.
However, verification is recommended because a significant difference is estimated to be the largest when a durometer indicates measurement values from 10 to 90 points.
For hard specimens for which Type A Durometer readings indicate more than 90 points, measurements should be undertaken using the Type D Durometer (ASKER D type). However, for soft specimens with measurements of less than 20 points, the ASKER C type or Type E Durometer (ASKER E type) should be used. The most important consideration in using durometers is to select the correct type for purposes of measurement according to the specimen.
