Talk:Shore durometer

message: With regards to the comment below, what the heck is up with the use of the degree symbol in a single section of this article?
<10 °Sh or >90 °Sh
It isn't referenced or used anywhere else. I can't find mention of using a degree symbol with shore anywhere else on the web. I have seen this used in industry, but I have no basis for why that is or any scholarly articles pointing to that being a standard.
Any thoughts?

message: In the "Durometer Scales" section, the various Shore scales should be listed in order of increasing or decreasing hardness.

message: Could the author of this article please clarify in the formula(s) whether "log" denotes log-base-10 or log-base-e?  Unfortunately there is not a clear convention on this (see Wikipedia discussion on logarithms).  Otherwise great article!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.65.89.154 (talk) 19:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The article mentions there being twelve types of durometer scale, including an R scale, but this type is not present in the list below. Please include it or indicate why it is excluded. Thanks. 69.199.250.34 (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The article says that an indentation of 0.100" is 0 and of 0.0" is 100. Is the scale linearly interpolated between there? That is, is is the durometer number 100 minus indentation / 0.001"? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 15:23, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Durometer number? 

message: I'm pretty sure the Shore durometer is a measure of both permanent (plastic) and elastic (non-permanent) deformation.  I'm removing the word permanent from the second sentence.  For example, when i do a Shore A hardness test on a soft rubber, there is no permanent deformation visible - and certainly not as deep as the penetrator went.  A material undergoing all plastic vs. all elastic deformation might have the same value on this test.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.141.70.130 (talk) 23:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
