Scope1.1 This test me

3、thod covers a test for measuring the cutgrowth in rubber vulcanizates subjected to repeated bendflexing.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns

4、, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A pierced strip test specimen is bent freely over a rod toa 90 angle and the

6、 cut length is measured at frequent intervals,to determine the cut growth rate. The cut is initiated by aspecial shaped piercing tool.4. Significance and Use4.1 The test gives an estimate of the ability of rubbervulcanizates to resist crack growth of a pierced specimen whensubjected to bend flexing.

7、4.2 No exact correlation between these test results andservice is implied due to the varied nature of service condi-tions.5. Apparatus5.1 Ross Flexing MachineThe machine, as illustrated inFig. 1 and Fig. 2, allows one end of the test specimen to beclamped firmly to a holder arm while the pierced end

8、 is placedbetween two rollers that must permit a free bending movementof the test specimen during the test. During each cycle, thepierced area of the test specimen is bent freely over a 10-mm(0.4 in.) diameter rod through a 90 angle. The machine shalloperate at 1.7 6 0.08 Hz (100 6 5 cpm).5.2 Pierci

9、ng Tool and Holder, as shown in Fig. 3.5.3 Measuring Instrument, having graduations, or aresolution, capable of measuring the cut length and cut growth,as described in 8.4 and 8.5, to the nearest 0.5 mm (0.02 in.).5.4 Thickness Gage, as described and specified in PracticeD3767, Procedure A, to measu

10、re the thickness of the testspecimen as described in 8.1.6. Test Specimens6.1 At least two, preferably three, test specimens of eachsample shall be tested simultaneously.6.1.1 The test specimens shall be 25 6 1 mm (0.98 6 0.04in.) in width, a minimum of 152 mm (5.98 in.) in length, and6.35 6 0.03 mm

11、 (0.25 6 0.01 in.) in thickness, and shall be cutfrom a vulcanized sheet 6.35 6 0.03 mm (0.25 6 0.01 in.) inthickness and of suitable dimensions or from finished articlesby cutting and buffing. If obtained from a manufactured article,the piece of rubber shall be free of surface roughness, fabriclaye

12、rs, and the like, in accordance with the procedure describedin Practice D3183.6.1.2 Unless otherwise specified, the test specimens shall beprepared so that the longitudinal dimension is parallel with thedirection of the milling grain.NOTE 1When specimens of high hardness are being tested, athickness

13、 other than standard may be used as agreed upon between thesupplier and the consumer.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.15 on Degradation Tests.Current edition approved May 1, 2014.

16、n in the Standard LaboratoryAtmosphere in accordance with Practice D1349, having arelative humidity of 50 6 5 % and a temperature of 23 6 2C(73 6 3.6F), for a period of 16 to 96 h.6.3 The test specimens shall be pierced by use of thepiercing tool.3The piercing tool shall be adjusted in the holderwit

17、h the cutting edge projecting 7.0 6 0.3 mm (0.275 6 0.010in.) from the base of the holder so that it will pierce completelythrough the test specimens when tapped. Before piercing eachtest specimen, the piercing tool shall be lubricated with a soapsolution that will not react with the rubber. The cut

18、 made by thepiercing tool shall be parallel to the width of the test specimen,at a right angle to and across the longitudinal center line of thespecimen at a 62 6 2 mm (2.44 6 0.05 in.) distance from theclamped end.7. Test Temperature7.1 Unless otherwise specified, the test temperature shall be23 6

19、2C (73 6 3.6F).8. Procedure8.1 Measure and record the median thickness of the testspecimen taken at three points across the width at the point ofthe cut in accordance with Procedure A of Practice D3767.8.2 With the holder arm of the flexing machine in ahorizontal position, clamp side by side the tes

20、t specimens ofthe same making sure that the cuts are at the center point of thearc of the rod.8.3 Lower the adjustable top rollers until they just touch thetest specimen and lock in this position by means of the wingnuts, permitting free travel of the test specimens between therollers during the ben

21、ding movement. The position of the testspecimen is shown in Fig. 2.NOTE 2It is recommended that the test specimens be distributedevenly on both sides of the apparatus if only a few are tested.8.4 Start the machine and record the number of cycles bythe use of a counter. Make frequent observations, re

22、cording thenumber of cycles and the increase in cut length measured to thenearest 0.5 mm for the purpose of determining the rate ofincrease in cut length. When observing cut growth, the holderarm shall be at an angle approximately 45 from the vertical.The test shall be continued until the cut length

23、 has increased500 %, that is, until the combined length of the cut and crackhas increased to a total of 15.0 mm (0.60 in.) or when 250kilocycles has been reached with slow cracking samples.8.5 In some cases the cut growth is not in a straight line asa continuation of the cut made by the piercing too

24、l, and“star-shaped” cracking may develop. In this event, the cutgrowth shall be measured as the length of the longest continu-ous crack, regardless of its direction.3The sole source of supply of the piercing tool and apparatus known to thecommittee at this time is CCSI, 221 Beaver St., Akron, OH 443
