A debate in my company has come up and I'm hoping the community can help me out.
I've been taught throughout my career when you describe hardness on a drawing you use the term "Hardness" then indicate the Number and the Scale or it's also acceptable for like rubbers and plastics to shorten it to 0075 or A75 as in Shore 00 or Shore A.
Some of my coworkers are using the term Durometer 75 with no scale indicated plus a material call out. and I'm believing this is wrong, but they are pushing back saying its ok because Silicone rubber can only be in the Shore 00 range for example.
Am I being too picky in asking for a full audit and update of the drawings or are they wrong because a material called out, doesn't necessarily lead you to a path of proper scale choice and the drawings should have further detail.
What is the industry standard way to call out hardness properly?
Thanks in advance.
