8、ack ManufacturingIndustriesE 145 Specification for Gravity-Convection and Forced-Ventilation Ovens3. 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 r

9、esidual deformation of a test 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 spe

10、cified in the appropriate test 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

11、 the maintenance of a definite 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

12、closely by compression flexing 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 duplicat

13、e(Option 1) or triplicate (Option 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

14、 test specimen shall be a cylindrical diskcut from a laboratory prepared slab.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 onRubber and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D11.10 on PhysicalTesting.Current edition approved May 1, 2008.

17、 6 0.2(0.51 6 0.01)AType 1 specimen is used in Test Methods A and B.BType 2 specimen is used in Test Method B.5.2.2 When cutting the standard specimen, the circular diehaving the required inside dimensions specified in 5.2.1 shallbe rotated in a drill press or similar device and lubricated bymeans o

18、f 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 aspossible to minimize cupping of the cut edges. The dies shallbe maintained carefully so that the cutting edges are sharp

19、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 specified in5.2.1.NOTE 1It should be recognized that an equal time and temperature, ifused for both the slab and molded sp

20、ecimen, 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 time of cure, must be taken into consideration if comparisons betweenthe specimens prepared by different methods are to be c

21、onsidered 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 compensated for therein. 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

22、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 0.012 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

23、 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 reduced first by cutting transversely with a sharp knifeand then followed by buffing to the required thickness inaccordance

24、 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 using the specimen sizesspecified in 5.2.1 and cutting as described in 5.2.2, or where adrill press is not available cutting th

25、e 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 uniformthickness, and shall not exceed seven in number for Type 1specimens and four in number for Type 2 specimens.5.5.2 Care shall be

26、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 results obtained on plied specimens may bedifferent from those obtained using solid specimens and theresults may be variable

27、, 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.5.6 For routine or product specification testing, it is some-times more convenient to prepare specimens of a different size

28、or 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 withstandard specimen. For such cases, the product specificationshould define the specimen as to the size and shape. If suitable

29、specimens 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 vulcanized test specimens or product samplesto be tested at least 24 h but not more than 60 days. When thedate of vulcanization is

30、 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 are cut for testing.6.3 Condition all specimens before testing for a minimum of3hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). Specimens whose co

31、mpressionset 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 Bias37.1 These precision statements have been prepared in ac-cordance with Practice D 4483. Please refer to Practice D 4483

32、for 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 testedin duplicate each day on two separate testing days.Atest result,therefore, is the average of two test specimens, for both

33、 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 precision results are given in Table 1 andTable 2.3Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obt

42、 mounted in the compression device, compressedunder a force of 1.8 kN (400 lbf), and heated in the oven forone week at 70C 6 2C (158 6 3.6F). In ordinary use, aweekly check of the dimensions shall show no greater changethan this over a period of 1 year.8.2.1.3 The minimum force required to close the

43、 spring(solid) shall be 2.4 kN (530 lbf).8.2.2 External Force ApplicationThe required force shallbe applied to the compression plates and spring by externalmeans after the test specimen is mounted in the apparatus.Either a calibrated compression machine or known masses maybe used for force applicati

47、 the tolerance stated in 8.3.2.NOTE 3The specifications regarding the surface roughness (smooth-ness) of the contact surfaces of the plates is to be considered only at thetime of manufacture or refurbishing as it is not a property that is easilydetermined in the course of routine use. The suitabilit
