A Digital Durometer Shore C (0-100HC) is a precision instrument used to measure the hardness of soft to medium-hard materials, particularly rubber, elastomers, gels, foams, and soft plastics. Here’s a breakdown of what each term means:�� Key Features of the Durometer Shore CFeatureDescriptionDigitalDisplays hardness values on an LCD screen—more accurate and easier to read than analog models.Shore CA specific Shore scale (per ASTM D2240) is used for softer materials than Shore A.0-100HCIndicates the hardness range: 0 (very soft) to 100 (firmest measurable on Shore C scale).�� Common Applications of Durometer Shore CShore C is ideal for materials too soft for Shore D, but too firm for Shore A, such as:Soft rubber rollersFlexible foamsCellular plasticsElastomer blendsVinyls and flexible thermoplastics�� How It WorksThe durometer indenter (a conical point under specified force) presses into the material.The digital readout shows the resistance level as a number from 0 to 100.Higher numbers = harder material.
