2 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a durometer of the PCE-DD series
f
rom PCE Instruments.
The durometers are mainly used to measure the hardness of hard rubber and hard plastic, such as:
thermoplastic, hard resin, flooring, bowing and especially for on-site hardness measurement of rubber
and plastic products.
The principle used to measure hardness is based on measuring the resistance force of the penetration of
a indenter into the test material penetration (max. 2,5 mm) can be converted to hardness reading on a
scale with 100 units. The formula is “HD=100-(L/0,025)”. According to this formula, the types Shore
hardness is relative to the displacement of the pressed indenter. Through measuring the displacement of
the pressed indenter, the types Shore Hardness can be calculated.
