scope:

This procedure is used to determine the depression depth of a leather sample under the 5 mm load plunger of a "ST300 Leather Softness Tester". This test is primarily intended for determining a relative rating for softness of finished and unfinished leathers. The depression depth of the load plunger is defined by the covered distance in millimeters at the calibrated pressure of 0.5 Pa.
