Plastics and related plastic insulating materials may be measured by an indentation hardness tester. Results give an indication of the extent of cure of some thermosetting materials at room temperature, and act as a control test to indicate the punching quality of laminated plastics at the processing temperature. Indentation hardness numbers relate to the area or depth of indentation made by an indenter of fixed geometry under a known static load. 4, record 2, English, - durometer

Essais de dureté Brinell.(...) Dans l'essai proposé par Brinell, le pénétrateur est une bille polie en acier trempé ou en carbure de tungstène. Son diamètre est D(normalement 10mm, mais aussi 5mm, 2, 5mm et 1mm). Elle est appliquée sur le métal avec une charge F(normalement 3000kgf). Après suppression de la charge, elle laisse dans le métal une empreinte circulaire permanente dont on mesure le diamètre d, d’autant plus grand que la bille a pénétré plus profondément dans le métal, donc que celui-ci est moins dur [...] 1, record 3, French, - essai%20de%20duret%C3%A9%20Brinell
