Hardness.... With the change to SI units a special hardened steel tool (known as the Janka hardness tool) rounded to a diameter of 11.3 mm (projected area 100 mm2) is embedded to one-half of its diameter into the (20 mm) test piece. This tool has a device embodying an electrical contact which rings a signal bell when the correct depth of penetration has been reached ... The hardness test is performed ... on the static bending specimen ... there is a very good correlation between the side hardness of timber, as determined by the Janka hardness tool, and its compression strength perpendicular to the grain. 1, record 2, English, - Janka%20hardness%20tool

Les résultats de la première étude montrent qu'une dureté de carapace plus grande ou égale à 60 unités de duromètre devrait être ciblée par l'industrie si une chair en abondance et de qualité est le principal critère recherché chez les crabes capturés durant les opérations de pêche. De façon générale, la condition et le rendement en chair des crabes entre 60 et 80 unités de duromètre sont constants mais différents de ceux des crabes mous(dureté plus petite que 60 unités de duromètre) et des crabes durs(dureté plus grande ou égale à 80 unités de duromètre). 1, record 3, French, - rendement%20en%20chair

Après la mue, le crabe conserve une carapace molle pendant un certain temps; un crabe à carapace molle est ainsi désigné en fonction de la dureté de sa carapace(<68 unités de duromètre). Le terme crabe blanc désigne à la fois les crabes à carapace molle qui viennent de muer et les crabes propres à carapace dure(catégories 1 et 2). 2, record 4, French, - crabe%20%C3%A0%20carapace%20molle
