Abstract

In this study, the Shore hardness measurements are made on carbonate rocks using Durometer PCE-1000, Mitech MH310 Hardness Tester and C-2 type Shore Scleroscope, and the results obtained were compared. The usability of digital new generation Shore hardness test devices (Durometer PCE-1000 and Mitech MH310 Hardness Tester) to determine the Shore hardness of the rocks is investigated.
