Understanding Durometer Hardness Testing

Durometer hardness testing is a critical method used to measure the hardness of polymers, elastomers, and plastics. The test evaluates how resistant a material is to indentation under a specific load. Shore ‘A’ is typically used for softer materials such as rubber, elastomers, and flexible plastics, while Shore ‘D’ is suited for harder plastics and rigid materials.

By accurately determining hardness, manufacturers and contractors can ensure materials meet design specifications, maintain durability, and comply with quality control standards.
