Shore A hardness tester is a testing instrument used to measure the hardness of non-metallic materials. It is one of the Shore hardness testing methods. The Shore hardness test method is defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is described in the ASTM D2243 standard. Shore A hardness tester is mainly used to measure the hardness of soft rubber, plastic and other non-metallic materials.

The hardness value of Shore A hardness tester is usually expressed in Shore hardness units, with the symbol A. The Shore hardness value is a relative value, which is related to the feel and elasticity of the material's hardness, rather than an absolute hardness value. The hardness range of the Shore A durometer ranges from approximately 0 to 100 Shore hardness units, depending on the hardness characteristics of the material.

When using a Shore A hardness tester, the appropriate hardness tester model should be selected according to the hardness range of the material being tested, and the consistency of the test conditions should be ensured to obtain accurate and reliable test results.

The global Shore A Hardness Tester market size is projected to grow from US$ 29.7 million in 2024 to US$ 40.2 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030.
