Shore
Hardness: Test Results
Below you can find the description of the test results produced by Hardness Check software
Shore Hardness
The calculation returns the SHORE Hardness in conformity with ISO 48-4 standard. The Hardness is obtained by measuring the indentation of the indentor after the set test time.
REFERENCE STANDARD: ISO 48-4 / ASTM D 2240
UNIT: Shore point
RESOLUTION: 0.01 Shore
CALCULATION PARAMETERS:
Test Time: t
Angle Coefficient of Hardness Regression line
The calculation returns the angle of the Regression Line of the Hardness-Vs-Time Curve plot in Logarithmic axes.
The angle coefficient provides usefull information about the visco-elastic behavior of the sample during the test. Measures performed on the same product can be used to compare the curing level of different samples or technical parts.
The result is obtained automatically during the standard execution of the hardness test.
UNIT: Shore/sec
RESOLUTION: 0.01 Shore/sec
Maximum Hardness
The calculation returns the Maximum Shore reading at the beginning of the test time.
The Initial hardness has normally a higher value in comparison with the hardness after the set test time.
The result is obtained automatically during the standard execution of the hardness test.
UNIT: Shore
RESOLUTION: 0.01 Shore
REFERENCE STANDARD: ASTM D2240, ISO 48-4
Room temperature during the test
This calculation permits to store the recording of the room temperature measured by the instrument when the test is performed.
Note: the temperature has an important influence on the hardness of rubber and plastic.
