ASTM D 2240 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Rubber Property-Durometer Hardness
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 15, 2005
Scope:
This test method covers twelve types of rubber hardness measurement
devices known as durometers:
Types A, B, C, D, DO, E, M, O, OO, OOO, OOO-S, and R. The procedure
for determining indentation
hardness of substances classified as thermoplastic elastomers,
vulcanized (thermoset) rubber,
elastomeric materials, cellular materials, gel-like materials, and
some plastics is also described.
This test method is not equivalent to other indentation hardness
methods and instrument types,
specifically those described in Test Method D 1415.
This test method is not applicable to the testing of coated fabrics.
All materials, instruments, or equipment used for the determination of
mass, force, or dimension
shall have traceability to the National Institute for Standards and
Technology, or other
internationally recognized organizations parallel in nature.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The
values given in parentheses are
for information only. Many of the stated dimensions in SI are direct
conversions from the U. S.
Customary System to accommodate the instrumentation, practices, and
procedures that existed prior
to the Metric Conversion Act of 1975.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
