Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of hardness — Part 3: Dead-load hardness using the very low rubber hardness (VLRH) scale

Caoutchouc vulcanisé ou thermoplastique — Détermination de la dureté — Partie 3: Dureté sous charge constante au moyen de l'échelle de très faible dureté (VLRH)

Abstract / scope

This document specifies a dead-load method for the determination of the hardness of very soft vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers using the very low rubber hardness (VLRH) scale.

The relation between the depth of penetration and the VLRH scale is linear.
