The IRHD dead load and type A durometer instruments were used to test the standard Wallace micro samples (2 mm thick).

In contrast, the standard dead load blocks of 8 mm thick, when tested on the micro IRHD and the type M durometer instruments, tended to give approximately the same results as the dead load IRHD and type A durometer instruments.

Various thinner samples were used with the micro instruments.
