Significance and Use3.1 The major port

8、ion of carbon black consumed by therubber industry is used to improve the physical properties, lifeexpectancy, and utility of rubber products. These test methodsprovide an SBR recipe and directions for evaluating all types ofcarbon black intended for use in rubber products. Otherprocedures are avail

9、able elsewhere in the ASTM standards forthe evaluation of carbon black itself.3.2 These test methods may be used to characterize carbonblack in terms of specific properties of the standard compound.These test methods are useful for the quality assurance ofcarbon black production. They may also be us

10、ed for thepreparation of reference compounds, to confirm the day-to-dayreliability of testing operations used in the rubber industry, forthe evaluation of experimental compounds, and quality controlof production compounds.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D24 onCarbon

Thismaterial ble

15、nd is prepared by blending a proportional mass of each material in adry powder blender such as a biconical blender or vee blender. A mortar and pestlemay be used for blending small quantities.CFor mill mixes, weigh the rubber and carbon black to the nearest 1.0 g, thesulfur and the accelerator to th

16、e nearest 0.02 g, and all of the other compoundingmaterials to the nearest 0.1 g. For MIM mixes, weigh the rubber and material blendto the nearest 0.01 g and individual pigments, if used, to the nearest 0.001 g.DTBBS is N-tert-butyl-w-benzothiazolesulfenamide.EFor the mill mixes, a batch factor shou

17、ld be selected to the nearest 0.5 to giveas large a total mass as possible that will not exceed 525.0 g. Calculate all partsto the nearest 0.01 part. For MIM mixes, calculate a batch factor to the nearest0.01 that will provide a 75 % loading of the mixing chamber.5. Sampling and Sample Preparation5.
