hardness
also called durometer hardness · shore hardness
HOW HARD THE CURED PRODUCT IS, as a numeral on a named durometer scale - the fact that tells a soft flange sealant from a rigid structural adhesive. AN ADVERSARY AMENDMENT TAKEN WHOLE [A-3], and the reason is that without it two current Henkel products are ONE STATEMENT: LOCTITE SI 5900 and SI 5910 publish identical values in all seven fields of Henkel's headline block - Silicone, Oxime silicone, Black paste, One component, Thixotropic paste, RTV, Sealing - publish no mix ratio, no strength band, no maximum gap, no service-temperature band and no numeric viscosity, and are separated on their own sheets by `Shore Hardness, ISO 868, Durometer A - 31 to 46` against `30`. The same failure on a second house independently: Soudal Fix All Classic (40 +/- 5 Shore A) and Fix All High Tack (65 +/- 5), both `Basis: MS Polymer`, both moisture-curing, both a stable white paste. Published by all four houses read at the mint and on nine of the sixteen Henkel sheets. THE SCALE IS THE UNIT AND NOT A QUALIFIER [A15]: Shore A and Shore D have no fixed conversion, so carrying the scale as the unit is what structurally forbids sorting a Shore D 80 epoxy above a Shore A 60 sealant - the pool's own `numeral_unit` law rather than a new value-kind, and deliberately not b155's `heat_range_scale` shape, since a durometer is an instrument standard (ISO 868 / ASTM D2240) and not a house's private numbering. IT IS A CURED PROPERTY: it says nothing about the paste in the tube. Its limit is written with it - four of the figures read are BOUNDS (`>45`, `>18`) and three are RANGES or TOLERANCES (`31 to 46`, `40 +/- 5`), and the pool has no shape for any of the three, which is the standing bounds obligation reaching a fifth trade [H5-f3]. Concern measurement.
Hardness is a measured figure.
It belongs to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
asked by the kinds that answer it
1 kind answers it, each for a single value. The same question can be reused by unrelated kinds — one meaning, many homes.
