8、45 Specification for Gravity-Convection and Forced-Ventilation Ovens33. Summary of Test Methods3.1 A test specimen is compressed to either a deflection orby a specified force and maintained under this condition for aspecified time and at a specified temperature.3.2 The residual deformation of a test

9、 specimen is measured30 min after removal from a suitable compression device inwhich the specimen had been subjected for a definite time tocompressive deformation under specified conditions.3.3 After the measurement of the residual deformation, thecompression set, as specified in the appropriate tes

10、t method, iscalculated according to Eq 1 and Eq 2.4. Significance and Use4.1 Compression set tests are intended to measure the abilityof rubber compounds to retain elastic properties after pro-longed action of compressive stresses. The actual stressingservice may involve the maintenance of a definit

11、e deflection,the constant application of a known force, or the rapidlyrepeated deformation and recovery resulting from intermittentcompressive forces. Though the latter dynamic stressing, likethe others, produces compression set, its effects as a whole aresimulated more closely by compression flexin

12、g or hysteresistests. Therefore, compression set tests are considered to bemainly applicable to service conditions involving staticstresses. Tests are frequently conducted at elevated tempera-tures.5. Test Specimens5.1 Specimens from each sample may be tested in duplicate(Option 1) or triplicate (Op

13、tion 2). The compression set of thesample in Option 1 shall be the average of the two specimensexpressed as a percentage. The compression set of the samplein Option 2 shall be the median (middle most value) of thethree specimens expressed as a percentage.5.2 The standard test specimen shall be a cyl

17、e required inside dimensions specified in 5.2.1 shallbe rotated in a drill press or similar device and lubricated bymeans of a soap solution. A minimum distance of 13 mm (0.51in.) shall be maintained between the cutting edge of the die andthe edge of the slab. The cutting pressure shall be as light

18、aspossible to minimize cupping of the cut edges. The dies shallbe maintained carefully so that the cutting edges are sharp andfree of nicks.5.3 An optional method of preparing the standard specimenmay be the direct molding of a circular disk having thedimensions required for the test method used and

19、 specified in5.2.1.NOTE 1It should be recognized that an equal time and temperature, ifused for both the slab and molded specimen, will not produce anequivalent state of cure in the two types of specimen. A higher degree ofcure will be obtained in the molded specimen. Adjustments, preferably inthe t

20、ime of cure, must be taken into consideration if comparisons betweenthe specimens prepared by different methods are to be considered valid.NOTE 2It is suggested, for the purpose of uniformity and closertolerances in the molded specimen, that the dimensions of the mold bespecified and shrinkage compe

A two-plate mold with acavity 13.0 6 0.1 mm (0.510 6 0.004 in.) in thickness and 29.20 6 0.05mm (1.148 6 0.002 in.) in diameter, with overflow grooves, will provideType 1 specimens for Test Method A and Test Method B. A similar moldbut having a cavity of 6.3 6 0.3 mm (0.25 6 0.01

22、2 in.) in thickness and13.2 6 0.1 mm (0.52 6 0.004 in.) in diameter will provide Type 2specimens for Test Method B.5.4 When the standard test specimen is to be replaced by aspecimen taken from a vulcanized rubber part of greaterthickness than the one indicated in 5.2.1, the sample thicknessshall be

23、reduced first by cutting transversely with a sharp knifeand then followed by buffing to the required thickness inaccordance with Practice D 3183.5.5 An alternative method of preparing specimens is byplying up cylindrical disks cut from a standard sheet preparedin accordance with Practice D 3182 usin

24、g the specimen sizesspecified in 5.2.1 and cutting as described in 5.2.2, or where adrill press is not available cutting the specimens with a singlestroke from a cutting die.5.5.1 The disks shall be plied, without cementing, to thethickness required. Such plies shall be smooth, flat, of uniformthick

25、ness, and shall not exceed seven in number for Type 1specimens and four in number for Type 2 specimens.5.5.2 Care shall be taken during handling and placing of theplied test specimen in the test fixture by keeping the circularfaces parallel and at right angles to the axis of the cylinder.5.5.3 The r

26、esults obtained on plied specimens may bedifferent from those obtained using solid specimens and theresults may be variable, particularly if air is trapped betweendisks.5.5.4 The results obtained on the specimens prepared by oneof the methods may be compared only to those prepared by thesame method.

27、5.6 For routine or product specification testing, it is some-times more convenient to prepare specimens of a different sizeor shape, or both. When such specimens are used, the resultsshould be compared only with those obtained from specimensof similar size and shape and not with those obtained withs

28、tandard specimen. For such cases, the product specificationshould define the specimen as to the size and shape. If suitablespecimens cannot be prepared from the product, the testmethod and allowable limits must be agreed upon between theproducer and the purchaser.6. Conditioning6.1 Store all vulcani

29、zed test specimens or product samplesto be tested at least 24 h but not more than 60 days. When thedate of vulcanization is not known, make tests within 60 daysafter delivery by the producer of the article represented by thespecimen.6.2 Allow buffed specimens to rest at least 30 min beforespecimens

30、are cut for testing.6.3 Condition all specimens before testing for a minimum of3hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). Specimens whose compressionset properties are affected by atmospheric moisture shall beconditioned for a minimum of 24 h in an atmosphere controlledto 50 6 5 % relative humidity.7. Precision and

31、Bias47.1 These precision statements have been prepared in ac-cordance with Practice D 4483. Please refer to Practice D 4483for terminology and other testing and statistical concepts.7.2 Prepared test specimens of two rubbers for Test MethodsA and B were supplied to five laboratories. These were test

32、edin duplicate each day on two separate testing days.Atest result,therefore, is the average of two test specimens, for both TestMethods A and B.7.3 One laboratory did not run the Test Method A testing;therefore, the precision for Test Method A is derived from fourlaboratories.7.4 The Type 1 precisio

Reference values do not exist for thesetest methods since the value or level of the test property isexclusively defined by the tes

43、is mounted in the apparatus.Either a calibrated compression machine or known masses maybe used for force application. Provision shall be made by theuse of bolts and nuts or other devices to prevent the specimenand spring from losing their initial deflections when theexternal force is removed. The sp
