Summary of
17、Test Methods3.1 There are two methods described:3.1.1 Method ADynamic Strain (formerly Test MethodsD3395):3.1.1.1 Method A, Procedure A1 Dynamic Tensile Elonga-tion (formerly Test Methods D3395 Method A)rectangulartest specimens are subjected to dynamic maximum amplitudetensile strain of 25 6 3 % at
18、 a fixed frequency of 0.5 Hz (30cpm).3.1.1.2 Method A, Procedure A2 Dynamic Belt Flex Test(formerly Test Methods D3395 Method B)rectangular testspecimens are affixed to a fabric belt which is continuouslyrotated over two vertically opposed pulleys that induce acyclical surface strain (due to flexing

Significance and Use4.1 The significance of these test methods lies in the abilityto differentiate between the degrees of ozone resistance underthe limited
24、and specified conditions of the accelerated tests.The degree of resistance being judged by the appearance andmagnitude of the formation of cracks in the surface of thesubject material.4.2 In service, rubber materials deteriorate when exposed toozone. It is imperative to have test methods in which si
25、mple,accelerated time/exposure, comparisons of the materials abil-ity to resist cracking caused by ozone exposure can beempirically evaluated. Such tests can be used for producer/consumer acceptance, referee purposes, research, and develop-ment.4.3 These methods are not necessarily suited for use in
26、purchase specifications as there may be no correlation withservice performance as actual service conditions (outdoorexposure) vary widely due to geographic location and, there-fore, may not yield repeatable or reproducible results.5. Apparatus5.1 The apparatus employed to provide a controlled envi-r
27、onment containing specified concentrations of ozone andpartial pressures, at specified temperatures, is described in 5.2,being common to all test methods enumerated herein. Theancillary equipment required to perform individual proceduresis described in their respective sections.5.2 Ozone Test Appara
28、tus:5.2.1 Test ChamberGeneral requirements for an accept-able ozone test chamber are adequate control and measurementof ozone concentration levels based upon partial pressure (referto Note 1); volume exchange rate; temperature; internal cham-ber circulation of the gas (airozone mixture, refer to Not
29、e 3);and internal chamber volume. An acceptable ozone test cham-ber may be individually manufactured for a particular applica-tion, or a commercially manufactured chamber. The ozone testchambers shall conform to the following requirements:NOTE 3Daltons Law and the gas equation is used to express ozo
30、necontent as partial pressure. The partial pressure of ozone in a mixture withair, P(O3), is given in millipascals (mPa).5.2.1.1 The internal chamber shall be constructed of amaterial with minimal reaction to ozone, preferably stainlesssteel, contained within an integral external structure whichprov
31、ide unencumbered access to the mechanical, electrical,display, and control devices.(1) The internal chamber shall be accessible through a doorhaving an adequate closure mechanism and seal to prevent lossof partial pressure or adversely affect the ozone concentrationlevels throughout the duration of
32、a test. It is recommended thatthe door have a means by which to prevent inadvertent openingduring the intended duration of a test.(2) The access door may be equipped with an observationwindow. This shall be of tempered glass and shall be sealed toprevent loss of partial pressure or adversely affect
33、the ozoneconcentration level throughout the duration of a test.(3) The internal chamber may be equipped with a source ofillumination. It shall be situated in a manner so that neither thetemperature of the internal chamber, the ozone concentrationlevel, or partial pressure is adversely affected. Illu
34、mination is tobe used in a temporary fashion, intended for intermediateviewing of the specimens. Long term use, in excess of aconsecutive 5-min period, or more than a total of 15 min,during any given 24-h period, invalidates determinations andtherefore requires monitoring and reporting.(4) The inter
35、nal chamber may be equipped with shelves, orracks, on which to place specimens. They shall be constructedof a material with minimal reaction to ozone, preferablystainless steel. They shall be of a design that minimizes theeffect on the introduction, circulation, exchange, or exhaust ofthe gas (airoz
36、one mixture).5.2.1.2 The internal volume of the chamber shall be no lessthan 0.11 m (4 ft3). The internal chamber volume may beD1149 07 (2012)2greater, provided the prescribed levels of ozone concentrationand partial pressure are maintained (refer to 5.2.1.3(1) andNote 1).5.2.1.3 A means for generat
37、ing, measuring, and controllingozone concentrations levels and partial pressure shall beprovided. The ozone generating source shall be isolated fromthe internal chamber and within the integral external structure.(1) The generation and introduction of ozone shall be by ameans whereby ozone concentrat
38、ion levels in the internal testchamber of between 25 and 200 pphm (parts per hundredmillion) 6 10 % at 100 kPa (atmospheric pressure at mean sealevel, MSL) and the equivalent pressures of between 25 and200 mPa 6 10 % are maintained throughout the duration of thetest (refer to Notes 1 and 2). The pre
39、ferred method of ozonegeneration being either quartz UV, corona discharge (dielec-tric), or a combination of both.(2) The test chamber ozone concentration levels andpressures shall be either infinitely variable between thoseprescribed or, at minimum, selectable at 25, 50, 100, 200 pphmand mPa, respe

Broader ranges of ozone concentrationand partial pressure are acceptable, provided the specifiedconcentrations of ozone and partial pressure are maintained asspecified.(3) The means of measurement of the ozone concentrationshall be by any of the methods described in Test MethodsD4575, with
41、ultraviolet (UV) absorption measurement beingpreferred as it has been shown to be more accurate and precise.5.2.1.4 The source of air may be ambient, or from acompressed air supply. In either case, adequate filtration ofparticulate matter from the source shall be provided. Themoisture content of the
42、 air source shall be minimized, eitherthrough filtration, a desiccant, or by other means.5.2.1.5 The flow of the gases (air and ozone) shall beintroduced into the chamber in a manner that prevents strati-fication or stagnation.5.2.1.6 The gas (airozone mixture) exchange rate shall beof a magnitude s
43、uch that no appreciable reduction in ozoneconcentration or partial pressure results from the introductionof test specimens.(1) The exchange rate will vary with the gas (airozonemixture) level, temperature, number of test specimens intro-duced, and their reaction with ozone.(2) A gas (airozone mixtur
44、e) exchange rate of 75 % of thetotal volume of the internal chamber per minute has been foundto be an acceptable and adequate rate, and shall be consideredto be the minimum acceptable rate of gas exchange.(3) As indicated, this exchange rate will vary, dependentupon the enumerated variables, and the
45、 minimum exchangerate shall be established locally, as agreed upon betweencustomer and supplier, or between laboratories, but shall not beless than that described in 5.2.1.6(2).5.2.1.7 A means of providing internal chamber circulationof the gas (airozone mixture) shall be provided by an electricfan
