Hardness Checks
Portfolio for: Gürgenler Spool & Fittings Manufacturing
Hardness checks using a Shore D durometer are essential for evaluating the material's resistance to indentation and its overall mechanical strength. The Shore D scale is commonly used for harder plastics, rubbers, and even coatings, providing a standardized way to measure the hardness of a surface.
To conduct the test, the durometer's needle or indenter is pressed against the material's surface under a specified force. The gauge then displays a hardness value ranging from 0 to 100, where higher values indicate harder materials. These checks ensure the material meets the required specifications for its intended application, verifying its durability and suitability for the conditions it will face, such as wear, pressure, or impact. This process is especially critical in quality control to maintain the consistency and reliability of manufactured components or coatings.
