16、s. It provides means of specifying the physical properties of vulcanized rubbers in a convenient notation, and in the interests of rationalization of test methods limits the times and temperatures available for selection in connection with certain tests. It supersedes BS 5176:1975, which is now with

17、drawn. The classification system is based on the physical properties of the vulcanized rubber rather than on compositional requirements and follows closely the system published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM Designation: D2000 “Standard classification system for rubber produ

18、cts in automotive applications”). This standard is intended for use in a wide range of industries and is not limited to automotive applications. In the preparation of this British Standard, consideration has been given to the economic importance of restricting the number of vulcanized rubbers in gen

19、eral demand. To this end, rubbers of low technical quality have in general been omitted. The tests employed in this standard have been chosen for their reproducibility and ability to assess the properties of a rubber material. They are not intended to be simulated service tests, which can be unsatis

20、factory for control purposes. The properties listed in this standard are not to be regarded as design data, especially with respect to heat resistance. As service conditions vary considerably, it is recommended that the selection of a rubber material for a given application should be discussed betwe

21、en user and supplier, so that all relevant operating factors may be considered. NOTE In order to assist in the adoption of this classification system the types of rubber normally used to prepare the various vulcanizates are given in Annex A. The annex does not, however, form part of the classificati

22、on system. The major changes in this revision compared with the 1975 edition and Amendment No 1 published in 1985 are as follows: a) the replacement in Table 4 of ASTM D1171 by BS ISO 4665 for outdoor weathering resistance; b) recognition in Table 4 that reference Oil No. 2 and 3 have been replaced

23、by reference Oil IRM902 and IRM903 respectively, although in accordance with BS 903-A16 (also numbered as BS ISO 1817), the terms Oil No. 2 and Oil No.3 continue to be used; c) the replacement in Table 6 of all specified limits for tear strength by “Limits to be agreed”. The requirement in the first

24、 edition was based on a crescent tear test piece having a nick size of 0.5 mm. The nick size now specified in BS 903-A3 is 1.0 mm and it cannot assume similar results will be given; d) the deletion of Liquid 100 for fluid resistance (E4 in Table 4) and deletion of corresponding requirements for MCE,

25、 MDH and MEH materials, following the withdrawal of the test liquid from BS 903-A16; e) the addition in Table 6/29 and Table 6/30 of a new material designation, MEE for ethylene-acrylic rubbers; f) the extension of Annex A to other suitable types of rubber; g) clarification of the use of the Z suffi

28、 vulcanized rubbers based on the test values obtained in standard laboratory tests for physical properties. This classification does not imply that every combination of properties for which a code can be given is technically feasible. In addition this British Standard seeks to limit the variety of v

29、ulcanized rubbers used in industry and Table 6 contains a range of vulcanized rubbers to meet the great majority of industrial needs. To do so, an attempt has been made to align several rubbers with the physical property requirements of other well-established British Standard Specifications (see Ann

30、ex B). This standard is not intended for use with thermoplastic elastomers, including those sometimes described as thermoplastic vulcanizates. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

39、ating the Type assigned on its level of heat resistance (see 3.1.2); c) a letter indicating the Class assigned on its level of resistance to mineral oil (see 3.1.3); d) a single figure indicating the hardness range (see 3.1.4); e) a double figure indicating the tensile strength (see 3.1.4). 3.1.2 Ty

40、pe (heat resistance) This shall be based on changes in tensile strength of not more than 30 %, elongation at break of not more than p50 %, and hardness, of not more than 15 IRHD, after heat ageing for 70 h at an appropriate temperature. The temperatures at which these materials shall be tested for d

41、etermining Type shall be as listed in Table 1. 3.1.3 Class (oil resistance) This shall be based on the resistance of the material to swelling in oil No. 3 of BS 903-A16. In the test, the immersion time shall be 70 h and the oil temperature shall be the Type temperature or 150 C, whichever is the low

42、er. Limits of swelling for each Class shall be as shown in Table 2. NOTE 150 C has been chosen as the highest temperature for Class, as representing the limit of oil stability.

44、 megapascals (MPa). EXAMPLE The code 507 indicates a hardness of IRHD and a tensile strength of 7 MPa minimum and the code 710 indicates a hardness of IRHD and a tensile strength of 10 MPa minimum. 3.2 Supplementary requirements 3.2.1 General When properties are needed that either supersede or suppl

45、ement the basic requirements, they shall be indicated by the use of Grade numbers and by means of suffix letters and numbers. The Grade number indicates the test limits, the suffix letter indicates the property to be tested, and the suffix number indicates the test method and test conditions. The la

46、st column in Table 6 under “Basic requirements” for each material shall give the available Grade numbers for supplementary requirements. Supplementary requirements shall be specified only as needed to define qualities necessary to meet service requirements; not all suffix values available for a mate

47、rial need be specified. However, if all the supplementary requirements for a given Grade number are required, this may be indicated by the word ALL to abbreviate the line call-out (see 3.2.2 and 3.4). Basic requirements shall always be effect, unless superseded by specific supplementary requirements

48、 in the line call-out. 3.2.2 Grade numbers To specify supplementary requirements, a system of prefix Grade numbers shall be used. Grade 1 shall indicate that only the basic requirements are compulsory, and no supplementary requirements are permitted. Grades other than Grade 1 are used for expressing

49、 supplementary requirements. Grade numbers shall be written as material prefix numbers, e.g 2MBC510, 4MBK610 or 3MHK714. Class Volume swell, % max.
