21、ologies D883 and D1600.4. Classification4.1 Polyether-ester elastomers are classified into groups inaccordance with flexural modulus. These groups are subdi-vided into classes by viscosity range (flow rate) and are furthersubdivided into grades by tensile properties, as shown in thebasic property ta

22、ble (Table TEEE).NOTE 2AN EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:THE DESIGNATION TEEE0311 INDICATES THE FOLLOWING:TEEE = polyether-ester elastomer03 (group) = flexural modulus from 125 to 325 MPa1 (class) = flow rate from 2 to 12 g/10 min1 (grade) = property requirements as given

23、in Table TEEE4.1.1 To facilitate the incorporation of future or specialmaterials, the other category for group (00), class (0), andgrade (0) is shown in Table TEEE.4.2 Reinforced, filled, and/or lubricated versions of thepolyether-ester materials that are not in Table TEEE areclassified in accordanc

24、e with Tables TEEE and A. Table TEEEis used to specify the group of polyester materials and Table Ais used to specify the property requirements after the additionof reinforcements or lubricants at the nominal level indicated(see 4.2.1).4.2.1 Reinforced, filled, and/or lubricated versions of thebasic

25、 materials are identified by a single letter that indicates thereinforcement or filler used and two digits that indicate thenominal quantity in percent by weight. Thus, a letter designa-tion G for glass-reinforced and 33 for % of reinforcement, G33,specifies a filled material with a nominal glass le

26、vel of 33 %.The reinforcement letter designations and associated tolerancelevels are shown in the following table:Symbol Material ToleranceC carbon and graphite fiber 2 %G glass 2 %L lubricants (for example, PTFE,graphite, silicone, andmolybdenum disulfide)depends upon material andprocessto be speci

The types and percentages of reinforcements and additives aresometimes shown on th

28、e suppliers technical data sheet unless they areproprietary in nature. If necessary, additional callout of these reinforce-ments and additives can be accomplished by the use of the suffix part ofthe system (see Section 5).4.2.2 Specific requirements for reinforced, filled, or lubri-cated polyether-e

29、ster materials shall be shown by a six-character designation. The designation will consist of the letter“A” and the five digits comprising the cell numbers for theproperty requirements in the order as they appear in Table A.4.2.2.1 Although the values listed are necessary to includethe range of prop

30、erties available in existing materials, usersshall not infer that every possible combination of the propertiesexists or can be obtained.4.2.3 When the grade of the basic material is not known oris not important, the use of “0” grade classification will be usedfor reinforced materials in this system.

31、NOTE 4An example of a reinforced polyether-ester elastomer of thisclassification system is as follows. The designation TEEE0310G-20A45630 would indicate the following material requirements from TableA:TEEE0310 = polyether-ester elastomer from Table TEEEG20 = glass reinforced at 20 % nominal (see 4.2
