Understanding Shore durometer value.
« on: June 27, 2017, 08:47:23 am »
I'm looking at some potting compound from Element14:

Element14 Link:   http://au.element14.com/pro-power/ppc125/encapsulant-polyurethane-resin/dp/1776513
Data sheet:          http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1685361.pdf?_ga=2.137116339.2079176475.1498451642-203270231.1485772309

The data sheet (Page 2) says the Shore A Durometer is "1:90 - 15:85A"


What does this mean? All the Durometer charts I've seen just have a single number (0.....100) applied to a range (00, A, D)

I'm looking at Durometer charts like these:

Anyone know what Durometer "1:90 - 15:85A" means?   :-//
