    iy Designation: D 2240 - 91 Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Durometer Hardness" “This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2240; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of Tea wopion or in ne case of ewsion the year of lst revision A umber in parntheasindicses the year of ast reapproval.

Scope 1.1 This test method describes seven types of durometers A, B, C, D, DO, O and OO, and the procedure for determining indentation hardness of substances classified as rubber, cellular materials, elastomeric materials, thermo- plastic elastomers and some hard plastics. 1.2 This test method is not applicable to the testing of fabrics. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for informa- tion only. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety and health practices and determine the applica- bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

Summary of Test Method 3.1 This test method permits hardness measurements based on either initial indentation or indentation after a specified period of time, or both. Note 1—Durometers with maximum reading pointers used to determine initial hardness values may yield lower hardness when the ‘maximum pointer is used, 4. Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is based on the penetration of a specific type of indentor when forced into the material under specified conditions. The indentation hardness is inversely related to the penetration and is dependent on the clastic ‘modulus and viscoelastic behavior of the material. The shape of the indentor and the applied force influence the results 1 This est method is under the juridition of ASTM Commitee D-11 on ‘Rubber and isthe det responsibilty of Subcommittee D110 on Physical Tests, ‘Curren edition approved May 15, 1991. Publshed February 1992. Ongally published as D 2240 ~ 64. Last previous edition D 2240 ~ 86 * Annual Book af ASTM Standards, Vol 08.01 2 dnmual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 09.01 388, ‘obtained so there may be no simple relationship between the results obtained with one type of durometer and those obtained with another type of durometer or other instru- ‘ments for measuring hardness. This test method is an empirical test intended primarily for control purposes. No simple relationship is known to exist between indentation hardness determined by this test method and any funda- mental property of the material tested. For specification purposes itis recommended that Test Method D 785 be used for hard material. Note 2—Durometer scale comparison chart only.

Apparatus 5.1 Hardness measuring apparatus or durometer con- sisting of the following components: S.L.1 Presser Foot, with a hole having a diameter as specified in Fig. 1(a), 1(5), or 1(¢) with its center 6 mm (0.25 in.) from any edge of the foot. 5.1.2 Indentor, formed from hardened steel rod and shaped in accordance with Fig. 1(a), 1(b), or 1(c) with full extension adjustable between 2.46 to 2.54 mm (0,97 t0 0.100 in.) 5.1.3 Indentor Extension Indicating Device (analog or electronic), having a scale reading from 0 to 100 with equal divisions throughout the range. The scale reading is an inverse function of the indentor extension, The device shall have a pointer that moves on the scale at a rate of one hardness point for each 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) of indentor ‘movement. Nore 3—Type A Shore Durometers serial numbers 1 through 16 300 and 16 351 through 16900 and Type A-2 Shore Durometers numbers I through 8077 do not meet the requirement of 2.46 to 2.54 ‘mm (0.097 to 0,100 in, extension of the indentor at zero reading.
