SOFTNESS TESTER ST300

The ST 300 Softness Tester is a precision instrument that provides a dependable means of monitoring leather softness. The ST 300 is non-destructive, so doesn’t require samples to be removed from the leather prior to testing. This enables a quality system to be set up between supplier and customer whenever leather softness is a priority.

Good quality control is a key factor in running a successful, profitable business. In this respect, the Leather Industry is no exception. Traditionally, the grading of leather softness was achieved by means of subjective sensory analysis by skilled inspectors. The need was clearly identified for a simple, inexpensive and easy to use machine which would produce reliable, repeatable measurements on a range of leather with varying thickness and softness. 

The ST300 is available as a conventional analogue unit (graduated in 0.1mm divisions), or as an electronic digital unit (displaying figures to 0.01mm/0.0005^*). The digital version features a USB interface, thereby enabling links to be made to a computer for data manipulation and storage. Using electronic test equipment, both versions can be calibrated precisely and re-set to original factory parameters.
