All the products made from various materials undergo various quality checks. This is to ensure that these products meet the quality standards of the industry. The hardness testers test the resistance to the indentation, scratches and notches of the various materials. The durometer is used in various applications. The numbers are given in the results to identify the hardness and durability of the material that is tested. The hardness rating is also denoted with A, D and OO. Several parts of the materials are tested and the cumulative rating is taken into consideration.
Different products made from the same materials are used in the hardness testing. The products are to be tested in a periodic basis to ensure that they meet the quality standards. The durability and the flexibility of the final product is determined based on the durometer results. Many products like rubber mats and the roller skates are to be tested for the indentation. While they are made from the same material of rubber, they should be different in end result. The mats are to be very soft, and the skate wheels are to be tough enough to withstand the break and scratches when they are used outside.
