Summary of Test Method3.1 The ends of rectangular specimens of candidate shaftseal compounds are clipped together and the specimens ex-posed und
7、er specified conditions of time and temperature in afluid environment that best simulates anticipated operatingconditions. Upon completion of the exposure, the clamps areremoved and the specimen are allowed to recover frombending. After a specified period of time, the distance betweenends of the spe
8、cimens is measured and the amount of recoverycalculated.4. Significance and Use4.1 Among the factors affecting shaft seal life are the abilityto retain elasticity and compensate for shaft eccentricity, abilityto recover from bending, and resistance to wear and theswelling effects of contact fluids.
9、In-service testing of candi-date materials is time consuming and therefore costly. Mea-surement of recovery from bending after exposure in fluids atelevated temperatures provides a means of quickly assessingthe materials potential and acceptability for use. Comparativerecovery data may then be scree
10、ned and optimum performingcompounds selected for further improvement or seal fabrica-tion. It has been found that good to excellent correlation existsbetween a materials ability to recover from bending andsealing effectiveness.4.2 This method is designed to measure the recovery ofdifferent rubber co
11、mpounds after aging in any liquid medium,including hydraulic oils and water. This method can also beused to test rubber compounds after aging in air. Test liquidsshould be chosen based on the intended end use.5. Apparatus5.1 Glass Test Tubes, 300 by 38 mm (12 by 112 in.)5.2 Specimen Hangers.5.3 Bind

15、nited States16. Test Temperatures6.1 Unless otherwise specified, the standard temperature fortesting shall be 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F). Specimens shall beconditioned for at least 3 h when the test temperature is 23C(73.4F). If the material is affected by moisture, maintain therelative humidity at 50 6
16、5 % and condition the specimens forat least 24 h prior to testing. When testing at any othertemperature is required, use one of the temperatures listed inPractice D1349.7. Test Specimen7.1 Test specimens shall be cut from test sheets with athickness of 2.0 6 0.2 mm (0.080 6 0.05 in.) of eachcompound
17、 to be evaluated, prepared according to the proce-dure detailed in Practice D3183.Test sheets shall be vulcanizedaccording to the same conditions of time and temperature aswould be used for molding the sheets for testing physicalproperties in tension (see Test Method D412).7.2 After the test sheets
18、have been conditioned for at least16 h at 23C (73.4F), prepare three 100 6 0.5 by 10 6 0.05by 2.0 6 0.2 mm (3.937 6 0.02 by 0.393 6 0.002 by 0.080 60.008 in.) specimens for each material to be evaluated. Speci-mens shall be cut parallel to the mill grain direction.8. Procedure8.1 Mark each of three
19、specimens of one compound type 56 0.5 mm (0.2 6 0.02 in.) from each end. Bring the ends of aspecimen together and place a piece of aluminum foil 10 by 15mm (0.395 by 0.590 in.) between them to prevent sticking.Insert the specimen in a binder clip to a depth of 5 mm (0.2 in.)in the lowest position so
20、 that the edge of it is even with the endof the clip. This will avoid deforming the specimen whencutting. (see Figs. 1-3).8.2 Place each group of three specimens on the hangershown in Fig. 4 and insert the assembly in a 300 38-mm testtube, as in Fig. 5. Do not allow specimens to make contact.8.3 Add
21、 225 6 5 cm of test fluid to each test tube, insert acork stopper, and attach an identifying label.8.4 Place the test tubes in an oven block set at the desiredtest temperature, and age for the specified time as detailed inTest Method D471, for suggested durations of 168, 336, and504 h. Verify the oi
22、l temperature periodically during exposure.8.5 When the specified aging period is completed:8.5.1 Remove the specimens, leaving them still in theclamps for 15 6 1 s to allow dripping of excess oil.8.5.2 Place the specimens on their edge, as shown in Fig. 1,on the aluminum plate, with edge surfaces p
23、arallel to thesurface of the plate. DO NOT touch the rubber surface. Nomore than nine specimens (three compounds) shall be placedon an aluminum plate, as shown in Fig. 6.8.5.3 In sequence, cut each group of three specimens fromthe clamps with a razor blade, preferably at a distance of about1.0 to 1.
24、5 mm (0.04 to 0.06 in.) from clamp edges and allowthem to relax for 15 6 1 min. If the aluminum foil sticks to thespecimen, do not attempt to remove it, thus preventing speci-men distortion.8.5.4 After the 15 6 1-min relaxation period at roomtemperature is complete, place the aluminum plate containi
25、ngthe specimens in a preheated oven at 100 6 1C (212 6 2F)for 30 6 1 min to allow further relaxation.8.5.5 Upon completion of the 30 6 1-min relaxation periodin the oven, remove the aluminum plate and allow thespecimens and plate to cool to ambient temperature.8.5.6 Leaving each specimen on its side
26、, measure thedistance between inside edgesAand B, as shown in Figs. 6 andFIG. 1 Placement Binder Clips with Rubber Specimen on the Aluminum PlateD6515 00 (2016)27, using a ruler graduated in 0.5 mm (0.02 in.). Do not touch ormove specimens during measurement. To maximize measure-ment accuracy, take
27、all readings using the central portion of theruler, rather than the en or zero point. Both hands can then beused to stabilize the ruler.8.5.7 Record the values taken as L1(see Fig. 8).8.5.8 When all measurements have been completed, removethe specimens from the aluminum plate with the tweezers,holdi
28、ng them at the maximum point of bending. Place thespecimens on a cleaned dry surface, flatten them, and measuretheir length with the ruler, as is shown in Fig. 9.8.5.9 Record the values taken as L2.9.

38、ram 1Two interlaboratory test pro-grams (ITP) were conducted in the development of this test.Program 1 was conducted in 1998 on three materials orcompounds, using three rubbers; VMQ, FKM, and HNBR.Seven laboratories participated in the ITP conducting tests forthree period of oil immersion; 168, 336,
39、 and 504 h (7, 14, 21days). Cured sheets from a common supply were sent and threetest specimens prepared and tested in each laboratory for eachrubber (compound) and each immersion period.X1.1.3.1 The D11 precision standard, Practice D4483, callsfor precision (repeatability) evaluation to be conducte
40、d on thebasis of replicate test results on two (or more) separate days.However Program 1 was not conducted on a Day 1 versus Day2 basis, and the repeatability as given in precision Table X1.1was evaluated from the variation among the three test speci-mens for each immersion period. Thus the repeatab
41、ility isdesignated as a limited or special repeatability (it does notinclude a day-to-day variation) and a test result is a singlemeasurement of recovery from bending rather than the mean ofthree as specified in the test method.
