JIS K 6253 is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) that specifies the method for rubber hardness testing using a type A durometer (Shore hardness tester). The standard provides guidelines for performing hardness measurements on rubber materials, including the type of durometer used, the measurement procedure, and the calculation of the hardness value. The JIS K 6253 standard is widely used in the rubber and plastics industries for quality control and materials testing. The Shore A scale is widely used for soft rubber and elastomers, while the Shore D is used for harder rubber materials.

JIS K 6253 provides detailed information on performing accurate and consistent hardness tests on rubber materials using a type A durometer. This includes specifications for the durometer, such as the shape, size, and materials used in the penetrator and the scale. The standard also provides guidelines for sample preparation, including the thickness and surface finish of the sample, as well as the test conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and loading time.

NextGen’s Advanced Portable Shore Durometer System complies with JIS K 6253 standard.
