A Shore durometer is a device used to measure the hardness of materials, primarily polymers, elastomers, and rubbers. The measurement is based on the ability of a material to resist indentation or deformation under a specified force. The Shore scale includes several scales, the most common being Shore A and Shore D, each designed for different types of materials.
