When determining hardness according to Shore, the resistance to penetration by a body is determined using a test plunger. The shape of the body as well as the spring force and measuring duration are defined according to the sample to be analyzed or the method to be used. The hardness value is obtained by pressing the test plunger onto the sample. Various operating modes allow measurement series, measurement ranges and tolerance limits to be set.
Device configuration and Application Examples:
- Digital hardness testers and test stands
- Shore A: Soft rubber, elastomers and natural rubber
- Shore A0: Foam, sponges
- Shore B: Harder elastomers
- Shore C: Medium-hard elastomers
- Shore D: Harder elastomers, plastics, hard rubber and rigid thermoplastics
- Shore D0: Dense granular fabrics, textile fabrics
- Shore 0: Soft elastomers and textile fabrics
- Shore 00: Foam rubber, sponge and cellular rubber, chewing gum
- Shore 000: soft gels, sponge rubber
Test Standard:
DIN ISO 7619
