Lab Master Tile Indentation Tester

The Lab Master Tile Indentation Tester is for the precise measurement of the resiliency of flooring. Samples is automatically tested according to industry standards or user selectable pre-load and full load force. Ideal for vinyl, rubber, wood and composites. Complies with ASTM F 142 & 1066. Access functions and settings via TFT flat panel touch screen.

The Lab Master Indentation Tester provides precise measurement with ±1.0 µm accuracy, 0.1 µm resolution, 0.2 µm repeatability of position and 0.01 Lbf resolution.

Lab Master Tile Indentation Tester

The sample is automatically tested in a sequence of operations that measure impression depth using industry standards or user-selectable pre-load and full-load force and test duration.
