Shore A scale is for testing the following materials:

Rubber: Soft vulcanized (ie. tire), natural nitrile.

Elastic materials (rubber & rubber like): GR-S, GR-1, neoprene, thiokol.

Other: Wax, felt, leather etc. (materials that normally yield under fingernail pressure, such as

the heel on your shoe).

Shore D scale is for testing the following materials:

Rubber: Hard

Plastics: Harder grades such as rigid thermoplastics, plexiglass, thermopolystyrene, vinyl sheet,

cellulode acetate, thermosetting laminates (ie. Formica)

Other: Paper filled calendar rolls, calendar bowls, etc. (materials that would not normally

indent under fingernail pressure, such as a pocket comb or bowling ball).
