Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Pusey and Jones Indentation

Importancia y uso:

3.1 The Pusey and Jones indentation value is the depth of indentation, expressed in hundredths of a millimetre, of a ball 3.175 mm (0.1250 in.) in diameter under an expressed force of 9.8 N (2.2 lbf). This value may be used to compare the indentation resistance of rubber and rubber-like materials.

3.2 The indentation value obtained should not be confused with hardness as measured by Test Method D1415, since in the latter test the rubber immediately adjacent to the indentor is precompressed.
