I need to get the durometer tested on a rubber part. This part just
came in, the customer doesn't know what the durometer is, and he
needs
parts friday. I would just order a durometer overnight but the
cheapest I can find is $280.00. The whole job isn't worth it. Since
it
may or may not turn into more work, I'm reluctant to spend the money
on it. The customer said I only need to be close, not perfect on the
hardness. Is there a way I can approximate it with a weight and a
properly shaped probe tip?
Thanks,
Eric R Snow

I've got one at work, but it's been years since I've looked at it. You
might be able to find the ASTM test standard and get a description
from that, or maybe something from the RMA (Rubber Manufacturers
Association)


Wish I could have been more help
