ISO 5893
Rubber and plastics test equipment -- Tensile, flexural and compression types (constant rate of traverse) -- Specification


ISO 5893 establishes the standardized method for measuring the hardness of elastomeric materials using durometer instruments on the Shore A and Shore D scales. Applicable to vulcanized rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, and solid elastomeric compounds, this test determines resistance to indentation by a conical penetrator. The technique provides rapid assessment of material rigidity and mechanical properties, making it essential for quality control and comprehensive characterization of elastomeric products throughout manufacturing and final testing phases.
