Shore Hardness Test Standards

This standard specifies the hardness testing of rubber test pieces and products. The hardness of a rubber is determined by its viscoelastic properties, particularly the elastic modulus as determined in DIN 53504. Type A durometers are suitable for testing in the...

Introduction & Scope The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) is a voluntary-membership, not-for-profit trade association formed by the members of the PM and particulate materials industry to promote the advancement of the metal powder producing and consuming industries and the practice of...

Determination of the apparent hardness of rollers expressed in Shore hardness values.

This report lists approximate hardness conversion values; test methods for Vickers Hardness, Brinell Hardness, Rockwell Hardness Rockwell Superficial Hardness, Shore Hardness; and information regarding surface preparation, specimen thickness,...

This Standard specifies the testing methods to measure hardness of vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber. NOTE: The International Standards corresponding to this Standard are as follows. In addition, symbols which denote the correspondence in the contents between the relevant...

The object of this test method is the rapid determination of the indentation hardness of elastomers, and thermoplastics where applicable. Preferably, this test method should be restricted to quality control purposes only. The Shore A scale should be used for the...

R. G. Pearson Chemical Hardness Why do certain chemical reactions take place and others don't? Why are some chemical compounds more stable than others? Chemical Hardness is one of the highly useful concepts which enable chemists to understand reactivities without reference to large...

This document specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness (Shore hardness) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using durometers with the following scales: - the A scale for rubbers in the normal-hardness range; - the D scale for rubbers in the...

This document specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness (Shore hardness) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using durometers with the following scales: - the A scale for rubbers in the normal-hardness range; - the D scale for rubbers in the...

This part of ISO 7619 specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness (Shore hardness) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using durometers with the following scales: - the A scale for rubbers in the normal-hardness range; - the D scale for rubbers in the...

This part of ISO 7267 specifies a method for the determination of the apparent hardness of vulcanized- or thermoplastic-rubber roller covers, expressed in Shore hardness, for measurement where only medium precision is required. The method and apparatus used are essentially...

This International Standard concerns the verification of type A and D Shore durometers used to conduct hardness tests as described in ISO 868.

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the indentation hardness of plastics and ebonite by means of durometers of two types: type A is used for softer materials and type D for harder materials (see the Note to 8.2). The method permits measurement either of...

This part of ISO 7619 specifies a method for determining the indentation hardness (Shore hardness) of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using durometers with the following scales: - the A scale for rubbers in the normal-hardness range; - the D scale for rubbers in the...

Hardness measurements are used as a quality control check of the consistency of formulation and processing of brake linings. This hardness method is nondestructive. NOTE-This method is not a measure of friction level. The hardness and the range of hardness are...
