Durometer tool.

The RDC-1 durometer calibrator was designed to help durometer users obtain in-house calibration ability. The calibrator comes with weights for calibrating springloads of gauges in the A, B, C, D, DO and O durometer scales. It also includes an adapter which gives the RDC-1 the ability to calibrate durometers from other manufacturers. The RDC-1 is said to represent a great way for durometer users to cut the costs of sending durometers out for calibration at the recommended yearly intervals. From the beginning, the company's calibrator was said to be designed to be simple to use. Unlike a conventional scale, it does not require the fabrication of an exotic fixture to hold the gauge, and the user does not have to perform any complicated calculations to determine if a gauge is in calibration. With the RDC-1, the gauge is simply secured in the clamp, and the operator slides the weight to the appropriate point on the scale. If the gauge reads [+ or -] 1 of the point indicated on the scale, it is in calibration, according to the company. The RDC-1 is said to offer quality unparalleled by any other. With its thick steel base, oversized stainless steel column and 30 pound weight, the RDC-1 is said to be the sturdiest calibrator made, according to the company. All components are precision CNC machined to exacting tolerances, and then plated or painted to insure long life, according to the manufacturer.
