Type C Rubber DuroMeter

The Type C Rubber Hardness Tester uses spring pressure to press the indenter into the rubber surface, converting the indentation depth into a hardness value. It is used to measure the hardness of soft foam materials and sponges and is applied in the testing of automotive seats and cushioning layers in sports equipment.
Selection
Select the indenter size based on the thickness of the material being tested, using a smaller indenter for thin materials. Consider the elastic range of the rubber, choosing a model with a larger range for highly elastic materials. Verify standard specifications such as ASTM D2240 to match the testing parameters of the laboratory's existing equipment.

Shore Durometer Selection: Matching Principles of Hardness Models and Measurement Ranges
This article introduces the selection method for Shore durometers, with the core focus on ensuring that the hardness type matches the material's hardness range and rebound characteristics. When selecting, the principle that the measured value falls within 20% to 80% of the full scale should be followed to avoid data distortion.
Selection of Clean Bench: Methods for Determining Airflow Direction and Cleanliness Class
This article primarily discusses the selection methods for clean benches, focusing on two aspects: first, determining the airflow direction based on experimental requirements—vertical laminar flow is suitable for protecting the operator, while horizontal laminar flow is ideal for protecting samples; second, selecting the cleanliness level according to ISO standards, typically requiring ISO Class 5.
