Some basic information about Shore hardness measurement
The Shore hardness measurement is a test method used to evaluate the surface hardness or elasticity of a material.
This measurement is used to determine the physical properties of a material, to carry out quality controls or to check the compliance of a material.
The Shore hardness measurement is conducted by means of Shore hardness gauges or penetrometers of various grades and types.
There are two widely-used systems for Shore hardness measurements.
Shore A and Shore D, each addressing the requirements of different operations:
Shore A hardness measurements are used to evaluate the hardness of elastomers, rubbers and similar flexible materials.
Shore D hardness measurements are used to evaluate the hardness of harder plastics, thermoplastics and similar materials.
