Use :
The part to be tested must be placed on a flat, rigid surface. Apply the indenter, avoiding the edge. Apply sufficient pressure so that the base of the durometer is in contact with the part. Wait about 15 seconds, then read the result. However, for instant reading, just wait 1 second. For greater precision, and if the shape of the part to be inspected allows it, it is preferable to use a fixture.
Shore A should preferably be used when values below 20 are obtained with Shore D. Similarly, use Shore D when values above 90 are obtained with Shore A.
