Cl
21、assification4.1 The products described by this specification are classified by type, hardness, class, and surface.4.2 Type:4.2.1 Type T, Tear ResistantIn general these products have a higher level of tear resistance, midrange heat agingcharacteristics, midrange compression set resistance, and 30 to
22、70 durometer hardness. This type is applicable where finishedproducts are intended to bridge or to cover a space (for example, expansion joint gaskets), or where high tear strength is requireddue to conditions of exposure or usage.4.2.2 Type C, Compression Set ResistantIn general, these products hav
23、e a lower level of tear resistance, above midrange heataging characteristics, a high level of compression set resistance, and 30 to 85 durometer hardness. This type is applicable wherefinished products are used as compression gaskets, or where low compression set is required due to conditions of exp
24、osure orusage; and as settingblocks, spacers, shims, or other accessories in glazing and sealing systems.4.3 HardnessEach type described in 4.2 is subdivided into various hardnesses, based on nominal durometer hardness asshown in Table 1 and Table 2. For example, Grade H3 is 30 durometer.4.4 Class:4
25、.4.1 Flame propagation characteristics of the finished products can be varied depending on the degree of exposure, expectedusage, and intended durability desired. Products described by this specification shall be classified as to flame propagation asfollows:4.4.1.1 Class FResistance to flame propaga
26、tion is required.4.4.1.2 When no flame propagation resistance is required, no class designation should be used.4.5 Surface:4.5.1 Consideration of product surface requirements may be necessary. During the production of these products the use ofvarious lubricants, release agents, dusting agents, and o
27、ther solutions may be required. It may be necessary after vulcanization toremove these materials from the surfaces of the product because of appearance, fabrication, or usage requirements. All productsdo not require removal of those materials or removal to the same degree of cleanliness.4.5.2 Produc
28、ts may also be required to develop adhesion or to not develop adhesion to sealants with which they are in contact.4.5.3 Products described by this specification shall be classified as to surface condition as follows:4.5.3.1 Surface S1The surface of the product shall be smooth, clean, free from any f

Significance and Use8.1 This specification describes types (based on resistance to tearing and compression set), grades (based on durometerhardness), class (based on flame propagation requirements), and surfaces (based on surface characteristics) of products as listedin Section
47、4 for various applications. It is essential, therefore, that the applicable type, grade, class, and surface be specified, aswell as other options stated, so that the proper product is provided for the intended use.9. Sampling9.1 Samples for testing to the requirements of this specification shall be
48、taken from the finished product wherever possible.9.2 When the size or shape of the finished product makes it impossible to obtain the type of samples indicated by the varioustest methods, the manufacturer shall furnish a sufficient number of appropriate test slabs, strips or blocks, prepared in acc
49、ordancewith Recommended Practice D3182. The slabs, strips, or blocks shall be prepared from the same compound and shall be of acomparable state of cure as the finished product.TABLE 3 Standards for Cross-Sectional ToleranceNOTE 1Dimensional tolerances for outside diameters, insidediameters, wall thickness, width, height, and general cross-sectionaldimensions of extrusionsRubber Manufacturers AssociationARMA Class 2 Precision RMA Class 2 PrecisionDrawing Designation E2 Drawing Designation E2Dimensions (in inches) D
