Shore D conversion to Bulk Modulus or Young Modulus

[JCasper]

Is there a conversion for Shore D to Youngs modulus or Bulk modulus. I have a expoxy with 88 Shore D how stiff is it compare to steel's E of 29000ksi?

I don't know of a formula, but can tell you that Shore D 88 is a hard plastic. Nylon 6/6 is approx 80D and has a Young's modulus of approx 450ksi. If its on the Shore A scale its a rubber and will have a Young's modulus like 1ksi.
