Summary of Test Method3.1 At room temperature, a test specimen is compressed to25 % of its original thickness and exposed for a specified timeat a specified low temperature.3.2 Upon release from compression, the specimen is a
7、l-lowed to recover while remaining at the test temperature.3.3 The residual deformation of the specimen is measured10 s and 30 min after removal from the compressive device.3.4 Compression set of the specimen is calculated accordingto the equations in 9.1.4. Significance and Use4.1 Rubber products,
8、such as hydraulic seals on aircraft,submarine hatch gaskets, and hydraulic brake cups, may beexposed to varying temperature extremes. This test methodprovides a means of determining the extent to which recoveryfrom compression at normal ambient temperatures is inhibitedupon release of the compressiv
9、e force during subsequentexposure at low temperatures.5. Compression Set5.1 For the purpose of this test method, compression set ofvulcanizates shall be the loss in thickness of the specimenexpressed as a percentage of the original deflection. This set,unlike conventional compression set at elevated
10、 temperatures,is temporary since the specimen will regain its originaldimensions when brought back to room temperature or slightlyabove.6. Apparatus6.1 Compression Set Jigs, with suitable steel spacer bars inaccordance with Method B of Test Methods D 395.6.2 Dial Micrometer, as described in Practice
11、 D 3767.6.3 Cold Box, cooled by solid carbon dioxide (Dry Ice),liquid carbon dioxide, liquid nitrogen, or mechanically refrig-erated, preferably by the top-opening type, and capable oftemperature control within 61C (1.8F) of the specifiedtesting temperature as prescribed in Practice D 832. The testc

Use only one specimen with eachpair of steel plates, and place in the center between the plates.Tighten the bolts
16、 so as to draw the plates together uniformlyuntil they are in contact with the spacers. The compressionemployed shall be 25 % for all hardnesses.8.3 Within 30 min after the jigs are loaded, place them in thelow-temperature cabinet, and maintain at the service tempera-ture for which the vulcanizates
17、are being evaluated. In theevent the service temperature is unknown, the followingtemperatures are suggested: 40C (40F) and 55C(67F). The conditioning period shall be either 22 or 94 h. Atleast 1 h before the conditioning period is over, place the dialmicrometer in the test chamber and clamp one of
18、the set jigs inthe vise or “C” clamp provided in the low-temperature cham-ber. Use suitable gloves for all operations in the test chamber.At the end of the conditioning period, remove the nuts from thejig, after which release the vise or “C” clamp, and start the stopwatch simultaneously. Measure the
19、 thickness of the specimens10 s and again 30 min after release from the vise or “C” clampand record as t10and t30, respectively. Since the test isconducted at a specific temperature, within 61C (1.8F), theschedule of opening the jigs shall be such that the test chamberwill stay within the permissibl
20、e variations in temperature.NOTE 1It is convenient when conducting many tests to have the dialmicrometer outside the chamber and have an extended insulated stem passthrough the cover or the top to measure the thickness of specimens afterrelease from compression.NOTE 2Slowly crystallizing rubbers may
21、 need to be tested at 10C(14F) or 25C (13F), with a conditioning period of 166 h.NOTE 3In the event that the dail micrometer gage being used isunacceptable for use at a low temperature, it may be placed outside of thetest chamber. The test specimen is to remain in the cold box until it ismeasured. I
22、mmediately upon removal from the chamber the first measure-ment, t10, is to be taken and the specimen immediately returned to the coldbox. At the 30 min time interval the specimen is again removed from thechamber and immediately measured to obtain the value for t30.8.4 Check TestRun tests in duplica

Precision and Bias311.1 This precision and bias section was prepared in accor-dance with Practice D 4483. Refer to Practice D 4483 forterminology and other statistical calculation details.11.2 Although prep
26、ared in accordance with PracticeD 4483, the data generated for this test method were obtainedprior to the adoption of Practice D 4483 in 1985. No recordsexist for the original test program. The values of within-and-between laboratory standard deviation have been used toconstruct Table 1. A Type 1 pr
27、ecision was evaluated.11.3 Compression set test specimens were prepared in onelaboratory from three different rubber compounds. Ten labora-tories tested two specimens from each of these compounds on4 different days. The precision statements are based on theaverage of two measurements and are express
28、ed in terms of thecompression set, in percent.11.4 The precision of this test method may be expressed inthe format of the following statements which use what is calledan “appropriate value” or r, R, (rr), or (R), that is, that value tobe used in decisions about test results (obtained with the test3S

The appropriate value is that value of r or Rassociated with a mean level in Table 1 closest to the meanlevel under consideration at any given time, for any givenmaterial in routine testi

Two single test results, obtained under normal test methodprocedures, that differ by more than this tabulated r (for anygiven level) must be considered as deriv
33、ed from different ornonidentical sample populations.11.6 ReproducibilityThe reproducibility, R, of this testmethod has been established as the appropriate value tabulatedin Table 1. Two single test results obtained in two differentlaboratories, under normal test method procedures, that differby more
34、 than the tabulated R (for any given level) must beconsidered to have come from different or nonidentical samplepopulations.11.7 Repeatability and reproducibility expressed as a per-centage of the mean level, (r) and (R), have equivalentapplication statements as above for r and R. For the (r) and (R
35、)statements, the difference in the two single test results isexpressed as a percentage of the arithmetic mean of the two testresults.11.8 BiasIn test method terminology, bias is the differ-ence between an average test value and the reference (or true)test property value. Reference values do not exis
36、t for this testmethod since the value (of the test property) is exclusivelydefined by the test method. Bias, therefore, cannot be deter-mined.12.
