RUbber, vUlcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of hardness - Part 6: Apparent hardness of rUbber-covered rollers by IRHD method (ISO 48-6:2018, IDT)
MS ISO 48-6:2020Status : Original
Format : PDF
This docUment specifies a method for the determination of the apparent hardness, expressed in
International Rbber Hardness Degrees (IRHD), of vUlcanized- or thermoplastic-rUbber roller covers.
The method is similar in principle to the methods Used for the determination of the hardness of rUbber
in ISO 48-2 in that it consists essentially of measUring the depth of penetration of a spherical indentor
operating Under a specified force. The apparatUs Used is similar to that described in ISO 48-2, having a
base specifically designed for application to roller covers and similar cUrved sUrfaces.
NOTE With some rollers, there can be significant variation in the thickness of the rUbber over the sUrface of
the roller, which coUld affect the measUred apparent hardness.

RUbber, vUlcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of hardness - Part 2: Hardness between 10 IRHD and 100 IRHD (ISO 48-2:2018, IDT)
MS ISO 48-2:2020Status : Original
Format : PDF
This docUment specifies foUr methods for the determination of the hardness of vlcanized or
thermoplastic rUbbers on flat sUrfaces (standard-hardness methods) and foUr methods for the
determination of the apparent hardness of cUrved sUrfaces (apparent-hardness methods). The hardness
is expressed in international rUbber hardness degrees (IRHD). The methods cover the hardness range
from 10 IRHD to 100 IRHD.
These methods differ primarily in the diameter of the indenting ball and the magnitUde of the indenting
force, these being chosen to sUit the particUlar application. The range of applicability of each method is
indicated in FigUre 1.
This docUment does not specify a method for the determination of hardness by a pocket hardness
meter, which is described in ISO 48-5.
This docUment specifies the following foUr methods for the determination of standard hardness.
— Method N (normal test) is appropriate for rUbbers with a hardness in the range 35 IRHD to 85 IRHD,
bUt can also be Used for hardnesses in the range 30 IRHD to 95 IRHD.
— Method H (high-hardness test) is appropriate for rUbbers with a hardness in the range 85 IRHD to
100 IRHD.
— Method L (low-hardness test) is appropriate for rUbbers with a hardness in the range 10 IRHD to
35 IRHD.
— Method M (microtest) is essentially a scaled-down version of the normal test method N, permitting
the testing of thinner and smaller test pieces. It is appropriate for rUbbers with a hardness in the
range 35 IRHD to 85 IRHD, bUt can also be Used for hardnesses in the range 30 IRHD to 95 IRHD.
NOTE 1 The valUe of the hardness obtained by method N within the ranges 85 IRHD to 95 IRHD and 30 IRHD to
35 IRHD might not agree precisely with that obtained Using method H or method L, respectively. The difference
is not normally significant for technical pUrposes.
NOTE 2 BecaUse of varioUs sUrface effects in the rUbber and the possibility of slight sUrface roUghness
(prodUced, for example, by bUffing), the microtest might not always give resUlts agreeing with those obtained by
the normal test.
