16、-ible data.4. Significance and Use4.1 The Schob Type rebound pendulum is designed tomeasure the percentage resilience of a rubber compound as anindication of hysteretic energy loss that can also be defined bythe relationship between storage modulus and loss modulus.The percent rebound measured is in

17、versely proportional to thehysteretic loss.4.1.1 Percentage resilience or rebound resilience are com-monly used in quality control testing of polymers and com-pounding chemicals.4.1.2 Rebound resilience is determined by a freely fallingpendulum hammer that is dropped from a given height thatimpacts

18、a test specimen and imparts to it a certain amount ofenergy. A portion of that energy is returned by the specimen tothe pendulum and may be measured by the extent to which thependulum rebounds, whereby the restoring force is determinedby gravity.4.1.2.1 Since the energy of the pendulum is proportion

19、al tothe vertical component of the displacement of the pendulum, itmay be expressed as 1 cos (of the angle of displacement) andpercentage rebound resilience. RB, commonly called percent-age rebound, is determined from the equation:RB 51 2 cos angle of rebound!1 2 cos original angle!3100 (1)4.1.2.2 T

20、he rebound resilience may be calculated as:R 5hH(2)where:h = apex height of the rebound, andH = initial height.4.1.2.3 The rebound resilience may also be determined bythe measurement of the angle of rebound . From the reboundangle , the rebound resilience in percent is obtained accordingto the follo

21、wing formula:R 5 1 2 cos ! 3100 (3)5. Apparatus5.1 Rebound resilience shall be measured by means of aSchob Type pendulum rebound device (see Fig. 1), which maybe described as a pendulum-like, one-degree-of-freedom, me-chanical oscillatory rebound device.5.1.1 The device shall consist of a pendulum r

22、od terminat-ing in a hammer and hammer peen (spherical indentor)supported by a frame (see Fig. 2) so as to oscillate linearly orcircularly under the action of a restoring force, which may bedue to gravity or the elastic reactions of a torsion wire orsprings. It shall also incorporate a specimen hold

23、er and adevice by which to determine the outcome of the resiliencetest, either an analog scale with a pointer, or an equivalentdigital electronic display.5.2 The scale or display shall read either, or both, the angleof rebound and the horizontal rebound distance. The scale ordisplay may be graduated

24、 uniformly or be calibrated in units ofresilience.5.3 The test specimen shall be securely held during me-chanical conditioning and rebound measurement.5.3.1 The surface against which the back of the test speci-men is applied shall be metallic, flat, and smoothly finished,vertical and perpendicular t

25、o the impact velocity direction.5.3.2 This flat face is a part of an anvil which shall, if free,have a mass of least 200 times the impacting mass.5.3.3 Any type of suitable holding device may be usedprovided that it gives rebound resilience values that deviate notmore than 0.2 (absolute rebound resi

26、lience) from those ob-tained with test specimens bonded to a rigid back plate.5.3.3.1 Examples of suitable holding devices include suc-tion (by vacuum), mechanical clamping devices, and combi-nations of the two.5.3.3.2 No lateral restraint shall be applied to the testspecimen in order to allow it to

27、 bulge freely when impacted.5.4 If measurements are to be carried out at a series oftemperatures different from the ambient temperature, the pen-dulum instrument shall be operated in accordance with Prac-tices D832 and D1349.5.4.1 The apparatus shall be checked for correct operation inthe range of t

28、emperatures used.5.4.2 Samples shall be conditioned at temperature andremoved as quickly as possible to the tester (see 8.1.3).6. Test Specimens6.1 Test specimens shall be prepared in accordance withPractices D3182 and D3183 either by molding or by cutting.They shall be free of fabric or any other r

29、einforcing materials.6.2 Test specimen size shall be as described by the instru-ment manufacturer or as agreed upon by supplier and customer.6.3 The test specimens shall have flat, smooth, and parallelsurfaces, finished, if necessary, by buffing. If the impactedsurface is cohesive, the effect shall

30、be minimized by dustingthe surface with talc or an equivalent material.6.3.1 Specimens may be prepared by plying samples cutfrom a standard test slab (see Practices D3182 and D3183).These samples shall be plied, without cementing, to thethickness required. Such plies shall be smooth, flat, and ofuni

31、form thickness. The results obtained with these specimensso prepared will not necessarily be identical with thoseobtained using a solid specimen of the same material and stateof cure.6.3.1.1 Plying of no more than three test specimens of thesame material may be used to obtain a greater thickness. It

32、 isnecessary that the surfaces of the test specimens be verysmooth, and lateral suction may help in ensuring their contact.6.3.1.2 Plying of test specimens introduces additionaluncertainties, and shall be used only for comparative measure-ments.6.4 The test shall be performed no earlier than 16 h an

33、d nolater than 28 days beyond the time of vulcanization.D7121 05 (2018)26.5 The time between vulcanization and testing shall notexceed 120 days for finished articles.6.5.1 Alternatively, the time between vulcanization andtesting may be agreed upon between laboratories or customerand supplier.6.6 Sam

34、ples and test specimens shall be protected from lightas completely as possible during the interval between vulcani-zation and testing.6.7 If the test specimen is buffed, the interval betweenbuffing and testing shall not exceed 72 h.1 Bubble Level2 Release3 Pendulum Angle Adjusting Screw4 Pendulum Ma

Tester Verification7.1 Since there are no absolute stan

36、dards available for thistester, the instruments performance should be verified on aregular basis:7.1.1 Follow manufacturers recommendations for physicalverification of the instrument.7.1.2 Obtain or produce one or two standard samples,preferably one with high (90 %) resilience and one with low(20 to

37、 30 %) resilience. Test these samples normally to verifyinstrument performance.8. Test Conditions8.1 The standard laboratory temperature of 23 6 2C (73.46 3.6F) is the preferred temperature of the test.8.1.1 Tests may also be carried out at other temperatures asagreed upon between laboratories or cu

38、stomer and supplier.8.1.2 The temperature tolerance shall not exceed 61C.8.1.3 When tests are conducted at temperatures other thanthat in 8.1, the sample should be conditioned for at least 30 minor until uniformity of temperature is reached, then removedquickly to the tester to reduce the temperatur

Procedure9.1 After conditioning and mounting the test specimen inthe holding device, carry out mechanical conditioning bysubjecting the test specimen to no fewer than three and notmore than seven successive impacts, so as to reach a practicallyconstant rebound amplitude.9.2

40、 Immediately after the impacts for mechanicalconditioning, apply three more impacts at the same velocity totest specimen and note the three rebound readings.9.3 Convert these three readings, if necessary (see Section4), to resilience values, expressed as a percentage. Theirmedian shall be taken as t
