Shore hardness measurement in the laboratory
You need shore hardness measurement in the laboratory
First of all, Shore hardness is a standard test method that consists of measuring the penetration depth of a given indentation.
The hardness value is determined by inserting the durometer’s recessed foot into the sample. Shore hardness measurements range from 0 to 100. A higher number represents a harder material.
Thus, Shore hardness is a measure of a material’s resistance to penetration of a spring needle-shaped recess. The hardness of polymers (rubbers and plastics) is usually measured with Shore scales. The Shore A scale is used to test soft elastomers (rubbers) and other soft polymers. The hardness of hard elastomers and many other polymeric materials (thermoplastics and thermosets) is measured with the Shore D.r. scale.
Therefore, the support of a laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical equipment for hardness measurement is indispensable for performing shore hardness measurements.
