Application Summary AI generated

This standard specifies the method for measuring the hardness of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using the very low rubber hardness (VLRH) scale under a dead-load force. It is applied in the rubber industry for quality control and product testing of soft rubber materials, such as seals, gaskets, and flexible components, where conventional hardness scales lack sensitivity. The method is particularly relevant for evaluating materials with hardness values below typical Shore A ranges, ensuring accurate characterization in manufacturing and laboratory settings.
