Shore test methods are widely recognized and used in many automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. They are used to evaluate the quality of raw materials and finished products, as well as to compare the hardness of different materials and to monitor changes in the hardness of a material over time. By using Shore test methods, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the necessary standards for hardness and durability and that they will perform as expected in their intended applications

Shore test methods are used to measure the hardness of rubber, plastics, and other elastomeric materials. The hardness of these materials refers to their resistance to indentation or penetration and is an essential factor in determining their suitability for various applications. Shore test methods use a durometer with a standardized indenter to make an indentation on the surface of the material being tested. The depth of the indentation is then measured and used to calculate the hardness of the material, which is expressed in units of Shore A or Shore D.

NextGen’s Classic Analogue Shore Durometer can perform Shore A, A0/E, B, 0, C, D, D0, 00, 000, Bareiss Variant C (Asker C) test methods.
