United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 A cord specimen is sandwiched between two la
16、yers of rubber compound test stock in a form resembling an “H,” placed ina heated mold, and cured at a specified temperature and pressure. The test specimen sandwich is then cut to create an H-testspecimen consisting of a single cord with each end embedded in the center of a tab end of the rubber te
17、st block (Fig. 1). The testspecimen is placed in the grips of the tensile tester, and then the grips are separated. The maximum force obtained is the H-testadhesion force.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D4776 for the determination of the H-test adhesion of reinforcing cords to rubber compound
18、s may be used forthe acceptance testing of commercial shipments of reinforcing cords but caution is advised since information aboutbetween-laboratory precision is incomplete. Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 may be advisable.5.1.1 In cases of dispute arising from the differences in reported te
19、st results when using Test Method D4776 for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is statisticalbias between their laboratories. Competent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. A
20、s a minimum, thetwo parties should take a group of test specimens which are as homogeneous as possible and which are from a lot of material ofthe type in question. The test specimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. Theaverage results from the two lab
21、oratories should be compared using Students t-test for unpaired data and an acceptable probabilitylevel chosen by the two parties before testing begins. If a bias is found, either its cause must be found and corrected or the purchaserand the supplier must agree to interpret future test results in li
22、ght of the known bias.5.2 This test method is used to measure the force required to extract the cord from a rubber compound test block.5.3 This test method is designed to test the adhesion of textiles that are bonded to rubber compounds. Variables that maycontribute to differences in results of this
23、 test method include adhesive type, adhesive application procedure, adhesive cure, fibertype, construction of cords, rubber type, rubber cure, and rubber thickness.5.3.1 The deleterious effect of ozone in combination with atmospheric moisture on the ability of adhesives to bond with rubberrequires a
24、ssiduous protection of cords prior to embedment.FIG. 1 H-Test SpecimenD4776/D4776M 1825.4 The expected range of values which characterize acceptable adhesion can be determined in any cord-rubber combinationwith experience. For this reason, the purchaser normally establishes a minimum level of adhesi
25、on to be obtained by the supplierin either the suppliers laboratory or the purchasers laboratory using either the suppliers standard rubber compound or thepurchasers rubber compound.5.5 Another procedure for testing adhesion of cords to rubber compounds isTest Methods D4393 .This procedure has been
26、usedextensively in the trade for acceptance testing. Results obtained by this method cannot be used interchangeably since there is nooverall correlation between them.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 Tensile Testing MachineAlthough a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) tensile testing machine is preferred,
27、 a constant-rate-of-traverse (CRT type, pendulum type) may be used. The specification and methods of calibration and verification of thesemachines shall conform to Specification D76. The testing machine shall be equipped with an autographic recorder (rectilinearcoordinates preferred) or an interface
28、 computer. There is a distinct difference between the CRE and CRT type testing machines.Consequently, they cannot be used interchangeably unless a mathematical correlation has been established and agreed upon by thepurchaser and supplier.6.2 Curing Press, capable of maintaining a minimum pressure of
29、 3.5 MPa 500 psi over the total area of the mold surface,equipped with 300 by 300 mm 12 by 12 in. platens or larger, and capable of a platen temperature control within 63C 65Fof the temperature specified for curing the rubber compound.6.3 MoldsThe design of the molds shall be as shown in Fig. 2. The
30、 dimensions of the test specimen are controlled by thespecifications and tolerances of the mold. The dimensions of the mold (6.40 mm 0.250 in. embedment) in Fig. 2a shall be usedfor cords with a dtex of 1100/2 denier larger than 1000/2 or less. The dimensions of the mold (9.52 mm 0.375 in. embedment
31、)in Fig. 2b shall be used for cords with a dtex larger than 1100/2 denier larger than 1000/2. The slot size for each mold shall be1.17 mm 6 0.13 mm 0.046 in. 6 0.005 in.6.4 Specimen GripsThe design of the specimen grips shall be as shown in Fig. 3. Two grips are required.6.5 Tensioning MassesThe mas
32、ses may be of the hook type, or designed in such a manner that they can be clamped to thecord. In any event, the total mass shall be 50 g.6.6 Sheeted Rubber Compound, (sometimes called skim stock), supported on a non hygroscopic non-hygroscopic backing, suchas a plasticizer-free plastic material. Po
33、lyethylene film has been found to be satisfactory. The thickness of the rubber stock requiredto fill the mold properly shall be determined by experience. As a guide, the thickness of the rubber stock should be not less than8 % greater than one-half of the mold cavity depth. In any event, the thickne
34、ss is agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier.NOTE 1The important dimension is shown by an asterisk and shall not be altered. All other dimensions are included as guides and may be alteredif desired.Dimension mm in.A 1.6 .06B 12.5 .50C 25.0 1.00D 40.0 1.50E 7.0 .28F 14.0 .56G 4.0 .16FIG. 3 Sp

Excessive rubber stock moisture maylower adhesion of some fiber/rubber composites.6.6.2 Rubber compounds exhibit wide variations in shelf life (properties suitable for good
36、adhesion results) dependent uponboth composition and storage condition. Rubber compounds are usually replaced after three months; however, some may requirereplacement within a few weeks. In any event, storage conditions and shelf life should be specified by the supplier of the rubbercompound.6.7 Tim

Excess lubri
38、cant shall be wiped from the mold and particularly from the slots provided for the cords. The lubricant shouldnot be applied when exposed cord is in the area, and should only be used when absolutely necessary. Use of mold release lubricantshould be reported on the test report.3 Available from Fisher

Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, take at random the number of primary sampling units directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement between the purchaser and the supplier. Cons
43、ider shipping cases of cord tobe the primary sampling units. Exercise caution in sampling and handling so that samples receive minimum exposure to ambientatmosphere and light prior to rubber embedment. This can be accomplished by storing the sample in a sealed, black plastic bag.Rayon is particularl
44、y sensitive to moisture pick-up (which negatively affects adhesion) and should be handled accordingly.NOTE 2A realistic specification or other agreement between the purchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variability betweenprimary shipping units and within primary shipping units
45、 so as to provide a sampling plan with meaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptablequality level, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleTake at random the number of packages per shipping case in the lot sample directed in an applicablematerial specification or other agreement betw
46、een the purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Test SpecimensPrepare 15 specimens, or other number as agreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier, from eachsample as directed in Section 8.8. Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 Cut the rubber stock in strips 6 mm 0.25 in. wide and 150 mm 6.0 in. long, le
47、aving the protective film attached. Thismay be done with shears or with a clicker die.8.1.1 Some laboratories have fabricated larger molds to accommodate a greater number of test specimens. In those laboratories,the length of the rubber stock must be adjusted accordingly.8.2 A mold preheated to the
48、curing temperature is preferred.NOTE 3When a preheated mold is used, the specimens must be loaded and placed in the curing press within 3 min. The use of a preheated mold willalter the curing conditions (time and temperature) of the rubber.8.3 Remove the protective film from the rubber test strips,
49、then place the individual rubber test strips in the mold cavities withthe protective film side on top.8.4 Place the cords in the cord slots by cutting cord test specimens allowing sufficient overhang for attaching masses and tiea knot in both ends. Take care to prevent the loss of cord twist. The portion of the cord that is embedded in rubber must not betouched by the bare hand. Attach a 50 g mass on one knotted end of the test cord.
