HARDNESS TESTING
PosiTector® Shore Hardness Durometer
The PosiTector SHD measures the indentation hardness of non-metallic materials such as polymers, elastomers and rubbers. In the corrosion industry, durometers are commonly used to ensure proper curing of pipeline repair wraps.
Shore A
- for soft to hard materials such as soft rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, etc.)
Shore D
- for medium to extra hard materials such as hard rubber, epoxies, hard plastics, PVC, acrylic, etc.
