TEST METHOD FOR LOW-TEMPERATURE BRITTLENESS OF RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS3X1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This test method is intended to determine the abilityof compounds made from rubber or rubber-like materials toresist the effect of l
32、ow temperatures that may cause them tobecome brittle and fracture or crack when bent. Standardspecimens are exposed to specified low temperatures fordefinite periods after which the specimens are bent in aprescribed manner and any fracture or cracking noted. Theprocedure is commonly called the “Thio
33、kol” method.NOTE X1.1Results obtained by this test method are influenced by therate of flexing of the cooled specimens which can not be closely controlledin the prescribed apparatus. They are therefore of a qualitative nature andmay not be closely reproducible over a range of several degrees oftempe
34、rature depending on the speed of flexure. For more accuratedetermination of brittle temperature, and particularly in new specifica-tions, Test Method D 746 is recommended.X1.2 ApparatusX1.2.1 Cold Chamber, of sufficient size to contain theflexing fixture when loaded with specimens, and so arranged a
35、sto permit the operation of the fixture to bend to specimenswithout removal from the chamber. It shall be capable ofmaintaining within it a uniform atmosphere of cold, dry air or3This test method was originally issued in 1943 under the designation D736which was discontinued in April 1967.C509063a mi
36、xture of air and carbon dioxide at specified temperatureswithin a tolerance of 61C (2F).NOTE X1.2Temperatures of 40C (40F) and 55C (67F) arecommonly used.X1.2.2 Flexing Fixture, consisting of two parallel plateseach having a width of at least 50.8 mm (2 in.) so supported inguides that they may be ra
37、pidly moved from a position 63.5mm (212 in.) apart until they are separated by a distance of 25.4mm (1 in.). Suitable clamping bars or devices shall be providedfor holding the ends of the specimens for a distance of 6.4 mm(14 in.) at the corresponding edge of each plate so that whenmounted, the spec
38、imens form similar bent loops between theplates. A satisfactory flexing fixture is shown in Fig. X1.1.X1.3 Test SpecimensX1.3.1 The test specimens shall conform in shape to Die Cas specified in Test Methods D 412 and shall have a thicknessof 2.032 6 0.254 mm (0.080 6 0.010 in.).X1.3.2 At least two s
39、pecimens from each compound shallbe tested.X1.4 ProcedureX1.4.1 Mount the test specimens in loop position betweenthe plates of the flexing fixture with the enlarged ends spacedat least 3.2 mm (18 in.) apart and held in the clamps for adistance of 6.4 mm (14 in.). With the plates in the open position
40、separated 63.5 mm (212 in.), place the fixture containing thespecimens in the cold chamber and expose it for the specifiedperiod to cold, dry air or a mixture of air and carbon dioxide atthe specified temperature. The standard exposure period shallbe5h(Note X1.3). At the termination of the exposure
41、periodand while still in the cold chamber, move the plates of theflexing fixture as rapidly as possible from the 63.5-mm(212-in.) distance of separation to a position where they are25.4 mm (1 in.) apart. Then examine the specimens for fractureor visible cracks.NOTE X1.3Previously two periods were sp
42、ecified, 96 h for natural-rubber compounds and 5 h for synthetic-rubber compounds. It was foundthat5hisadequate for either class of compounds within the intent of thistest method.X1.5 ResultsX1.5.1 When two specimens are tested and neither onefractures nor shows cracks after being tested, the compou
43、ndshall be considered as having passed the brittleness test. If bothspecimens crack, the compound shall be considered to havefailed.X1.5.2 If only one specimen fractures or cracks, the result isinconclusive and two additional specimens shall be tested. Ifeither one of these cracks, the compound shal
44、l then beconsidered to have failed.X1.6 ReportX1.6.1 Report the following:X1.6.1.1 The results of the test expressed as “passed” or“failed,”X1.6.1.2 The temperature of the cold chamber,X1.6.1.3 The duration of the exposure period,X1.6.1.4 Identification of the material tested including de-scription
