Applications of the Shore A durometer
To determine Shore hardness, scale A, of soft rubber test pieces and articles, according to UNE EN ISO 868, ISO 48-9, ISO 7619, DIN 53505, and ASTM D 2240-15 standards. The Shore A durometer is used for flexible and soft materials such as rubber, silicones, and thermoplastic elastomers. It is also frequently used for testing tires and medical devices.Durometer Features

Frequently Asked Questions about Shore A Durometers
What is a Shore A durometer?
A Shore A durometer is a professional measuring instrument used to determine the hardness or resistance of flexible and soft materials. It works by using a conical indenter that penetrates the material. Values range from 0 to 100, and the higher the value, the greater the hardness and resistance of the product. This tool ensures in industry that materials meet the required hardness, performance, and durability specifications.
What materials can be measured with a Shore A durometer?
The Shore A durometer is used for flexible and soft materials such as rubber, silicones, and thermoplastic elastomers. It is also frequently used for testing tires and medical devices.
What do our Shore A durometers include?
All Baxlo Shore A durometers come with a wooden case and a 60 Shore verification gauge included.
Are Baxlo Shore A durometers manufactured in Spain?
Yes, Shore A durometers, as well as those of any other class, are manufactured in our own factory in Spain. All of them are certified and produced under strict quality standards in compliance with current European regulations.
How is the durometer used?
Place the durometer on a flat surface and press evenly on the indenter so that it penetrates the material to be measured. Then, wait about 3 seconds to read the result on the Shore scale. The material thickness must be at least 6 mm for an accurate test, and it is recommended to take 5 measurements at different points.
