Durometers

Durometer is a device used to measure the hardness of a material, typically rubber or plastic. It measures the indentation of a weighted plunger into the surface of the material, providing a numerical reading on a scale from 1 to 100.

Durometers are commonly used in quality control and manufacturing processes to ensure that materials meet specific hardness standards. They are also used in the field of materials science to study and compare the mechanical properties of different materials. Additionally, durometers are used in product design and development to determine the ideal hardness for a specific application.
