Testing method for materials where a durometer measures the elasticity to calculate the hardness of the material. Beskrivning The process Durometer [1] is pushed by hand against the test material [2] surface. The presser foot is lowered into the material and the depth of the impression is read directly on durometer scale which gives the material's hardness. Shore test Process films Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Portable equipment staff can be easily trained to use the method Inexpensive compared to other methods Depends on the skill of the operator Only limited thickness can be tested Only resilient material can be tested
