Durometer measurement scales range from 0 to 100 but there is no such thing as a durometer unit of measurement. Another way of saying this is that durometer is a dimensionless measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurometer numbers simply represent a relative comparison of hardness between different but similar materials that have had their hardness measured using the same durometer scale, device and measurement standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, a higher durometer elastomer is harder than a lower durometer elastomer. For example, a 90A durometer polyurethane tubing is harder than a 70A polyurethane tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term is also used to describe a material’s rating on the scale, as in an object having a “‘Shore durometer’ of 90.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shore scale was defined by Albert Shore, who developed a suitable device to measure hardness in the 1920s. It was neither the first hardness tester nor the first to be called a durometer, but today that name usually refers to\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShore hardness;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eother devices use other measures, which return corresponding results, such as for rockwell hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several scales of durometer, used for materials with different properties. The two most common scales, using slightly different measurement systems, are the ASTM D2240 type A and type D scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A scale is for softer ones, while the D scale is for harder ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the ASTM D2240-00 testing standard calls for a total of 12 scales, depending on the intended use: types A, B, C, D, DO, E, M, O, OO, OOO, OOO-S, and R. Each scale results in a value between 0 and 100, with higher values indicating a harder material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ASTM D2240 standard recognizes twelve different durometer scales using combinations of specific spring forces and indentor configurations. These scales are properly referred to as durometer types; i.e., a durometer type is specifically designed to determine a specific scale, and the scale does not exist separately from the durometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShore Durometer, like many other hardness tests, measures the depth of an indentation in the material created by a given force on a standardized presser foot. This depth is dependent on the hardness of the material, its\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eviscoelastic properties, the shape of the presser foot, and the duration of the test. ASTM D2240 durometers allows for a measurement of the initial hardness, or the indentation hardness after a given period of time. The basic test requires applying the force in a consistent manner, without shock, and measuring the hardness (depth of the indentation). If a timed hardness is desired, force is applied for the required time and then read. The material under test should be a minimum of 6 mm (0.25 inches) thick. \u003cspan\u003eTheoretical background of the test is considered in Stoßprobleme in Physik, Technik und Medizin by Grundlagen und Anwendungen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phase II Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45036648431778,"sku":"PHT-980","price":275.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/3575\/3865\/files\/PHT-980-2025A.png?v=1770304990","url":"https:\/\/accusize-distribution.myshopify.com\/products\/pht-980-shore-d-durometer","provider":"Accusize Distributor's Online Shopping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
