15、equippedwith 6-mm (0.25-in.) diameter hemispherical tips (ballpoint ortubing micrometers), (b) dial indicators that have a maximumcontact force of 0.29 N (29 gf), or (c) an electronic micrometerwith a spring force of 0.1 N (10 gf) maximum. Better accuracycan be obtained with a 0.05-N (5-gf) spring o
16、r with no spring.In case of referee tests, both laboratories shall use the samespring force.7.1.2 The O-ring specimen shall be measured at four pointsequally distributed around the circumference in both the radialand axial direction. An average reading shall be used forcalculation.7.2 DiameterA step
17、ped cone or optical comparator maybe used for measuring the inside diameter of small rings. Thediametric intervals of the stepped cone shall not exceed 2 % ofthe diameter to be measured (see Fig. 1).8. Tension Testing8.1 Testing Machine The testing machine shall conformto the requirements specified
18、in Section 3 of Test MethodsD 412, with the exception of the grips. Grips for testing ringsshall consist of ball-bearing spools at least 9 mm (0.35 in.) indiameter, and be capable of being brought within 19 mm (0.75in.) center-to-center distance at closest approach. Stresseswithin the specimen shall
19、 be minimized by (1) rotating onespool one full revolution for each 150 mm (6.0 in.) of travel ofthe power-driven grips or (2) lubricating the contact surface ofthe spools with castor oil. Grips for testing straight specimensmay be of any type provided breaks do not occur in a portionof the specimen
20、 that has been at any time in contact with thegrips. For specimens smaller than 25 mm (1 in.) in insidediameter, spools of smaller diameter and closer approach maybe employed.8.2 Test Specimen:8.2.1 The test specimen shall consist of an entire O-ringexcept in the following cases: (1) when the diamet
21、er is toolarge to permit a break within the limits of travel of the testingmachine, (2) when the specimen has been previously cut opento permit an aging test, and (3) when the specimen is unagedbut is to be compared with an aged specimen as described in(2). For these cases a specimen cut from a ring
22、 shall beemployed.8.2.2 Specimens that exhibit obvious flaws at any point onthe surface, such as might result from imperfect molding orflash removal, shall not be tested.8.3 Procedure for Determination of Tensile Strength, Ulti-mate Elongation, and Tensile Stress:8.3.1 Bring the grips close enough t
23、ogether so the specimencan be installed without stretching. Set the machine for a speedof 500 6 50 mm (20 6 2 in.)/min, set the chart recorder, andengage the clutch. (If a recorder is not used, note the spoolcenter-to-center distance continually by means of a suitablescale). The stressed inside circ
24、umference, L, is equal to twicethe distance between spools plus the circumference of onespool. Record the breaking force value, F, at the elongationspecified for tensile stress and at the time of rupture. Measurethe center-to-center distance between the spools at rupture tothe nearest 2.5 mm (0.1 in
25、.) and record as the value for D.8.3.2 For the application of bench marks to segmentedspecimens as described in 8.2, hold the piece as straight aspossible being careful not to apply excessive stress. Follow theprocedure described in 8.3.1. Discard results for any specimenthat breaks at a point that
26、has at any time contacted the grip,and test an additional specimen. A suitable extensiometer maybe employed for elongation determination.8.4 Calculations:8.4.1 Tensile Strength Calculate the tensile strength asfollows:8.4.1.1 For O-rings on spool grips:T 5 F/A (1)where:T = tensile strength,F = break
27、ing force, andA = twice the cross-sectional area calculated from axialthickness, W, as follows:A 5pW2/2 5 1.57 W2(2)therefore:T 5 F/1.57 W2(3)8.4.1.2 For straight or single-strand specimens:A 5 0.785 W2(4)FIG. 1 Stepped Cone GageD 1414 94 (2003)2T 5 F/0.785 W2(5)8.4.2 Ultimate ElongationCalculate th
28、e ultimate elonga-tion as follows:8.4.2.1 For rings:Ultimate elongation, % 5 2D 1 G 2 C!/C 3 100 (6)where:D = distance between centers of the spool grips at the timeof rupture of specimen,G = circumference of one spool (spool diameter 3 3.14),andC = inside circumference of the specimen (or inside di
29、am-eter 3 3.14).8.4.2.2 For straight or single-strand specimen cut from anO-ring:Ultimate elongation, % 5 L 2 Lo!/Lo# 3 100 (7)where:L = observed distance between bench marks of stressedspecimen, andLo= original distance between bench marks.8.4.3 Tensile Stress Calculate the tensile stress as in the
30、case of tensile strength except the stress is reported at apredetermined elongation below the ultimate elongation. Cal-culate the center-to-center distance of the spool grips, D, wherethe prescribed elongation, E, occurs, as follows:D 5 1/2EC/100! 1 C 2 G (8)NOTE 1This value of tensile stress at a p
31、redetermined elongation isbased upon inside circumference and differs from that determined by TestMethods D 412, which is based on the mean circumference.8.5 Characteristics of Sample TestedThe median of thevalues for three specimens shall be taken as the characteristicsof the sample tested, except
32、that under the following conditionsthe median of the values for five specimens (two additional)shall be used:8.5.1 If one or more values do not meet the specifiedrequirements when testing for compliance with specifications.8.5.2 If referee tests are being made.8.6 Report:8.6.1 The report shall inclu
33、de the following:8.6.1.1 Results calculated as in 8.4,8.6.1.2 Date of test,8.6.1.3 Temperature of test room if other than provided forin Section 6,8.6.1.4 Type of testing machine used, including diameter ofspool grip if other than standard, and speed, if other than 8.360.8 mm (20.0 6 2 in.)/min, and
34、8.6.1.5 Type of specimen (ring or straight).9. Tension Set Test9.1 Procedure:9.1.1 Stretch the O-ring specimens to 100 % elongation andhold at this strain for 10 min. At the end of this period releasethe specimen and allow it to recover for 10 min. At the end ofthis recovery period, measure the insi
35、de diameter with a stepgage reference in 7.2 and shown in Fig. 1.9.1.2 Apply the strain by (1) stretching the specimen over atapered cone which has a step at the required 100 % elongation,or (2) by means of a tension test machine stopping the machineat 100 % elongation, or ( 3) by the use of any spe
36、cial fixturecapable of holding the O-ring over two spools at constantdistance between spool centers.9.2 Calculation Calculate tension set as follows:Tension set, % 5 L12 Lo!/Lo# 3 100 (9)where:L1= diameter after testing, andLo= original diameter.9.3 Straight specimens cut from large O-rings may be t
37、estedand calculated in accordance with Test Methods D 412.10. Compression Set Test10.1 Nature of Test The compression set of O-ring speci-mens shall follow the general procedures of Method B of TestMethods D 395, with the following exceptions:10.2 Apparatus:10.2.1 SpacersThe spacers shall be adjuste
38、d to within0.025 mm (0.01 in.). This can be done by employing shimstock of various thickness.10.2.2 Measurement The cross section before and aftertest shall be measured in the same marked location with aball-point (tubing) micrometer or other method as described in7.1.10.3 Test Specimen The specimen
39、 shall be a suitablesection cut from the sample O-ring. A52-mm (2-in.) section hasbeen found to be satisfactory on sample O-rings of 17-mm(0.67-in.) or larger inside diameter. On smaller O-rings, asection of approximately 3 mm (18 in.) shall be cut from thesample and discarded.NOTE 2Testing a whole
40、O-ring for compression set is always avoidedbecause air trapped inside the O-ring results in a different set of conditionson the inside and outside surface of the specimen.10.4 ProcedureMeasure the actual specimen to within0.025 mm (0.001 in.) and calculate the spacer to be 75 % ofthis thickness, to
41、 within 0.025 mm (0.001 in.). Close the plates,employing a sufficient number of bolts to prevent deflectionupon heating. At the end of the heating period, release theplates as soon as possible and allow the specimens to cool toroom temperature under the conditions described in TestMethods D 395.11.
42、Compression Set in Liquids11.1 Compression set may be conducted immersed in anyliquid provided a suitable container is available. The containerneeds to be large enough to hold the plates and withstand thevapor pressure of the liquid at test temperature.11.2 The specimen is prepared in accordance wit
43、h 10.3, andat the termination of the heating period the plates are releasedimmediately and the specimens are allowed to cool to roomtemperature for 30 min in a fresh cool portion of the test liquid.Measurement and reporting are the same except the type ofliquid is listed in the report.D 1414 94 (200
44、3)312. Low-Temperature Test12.1 Nature of Test The TR-10 or Temperature RetractionTest shall be in accordance with Test Method D 1329 with theexceptions given in 12.2 to 12.4.12.2 Test Specimen The test specimen shall be an O-ringof 1.5 to 3.8-mm (0.06 to 0.15-in.) cross-sectional diameter andof suf
45、ficient length to reach from clamp to clamp when the ringis cut and held in straight position.12.3 ProcedureStretch the mounted specimen 50 % asstandard. If a greater or lesser stretch is used, report the actualstretch.12.4 ReportThe report shall include the following:12.4.1 Testing elongation, in p
46、ercent, and12.4.2 Temperature at which the specimen retracts 10 %,designated as TR-10 and at other points, such as 30, 50, or70 %, or all, if required.13. Relative Density Test13.1 Test Specimen Any O-ring, O-rings, or segment of anO-ring may be considered as the specimen. The minimum massof the spe
47、cimen shall be 0.005 N (0.5 gf). In the case of verysmall O-rings, two or more pieces may be used as the specimento accomplish this total minimum mass.13.2 ProcedureEmploy the procedure outlined in TestMethods D 297, density hydrostatic method.NOTE 3Extreme accuracy is required in making relative de
48、nsitydeterminations on small O-rings 0.001 N (1 g or less). The surface tensionon the suspending wire is critical; this wire should be of the smallestdiameter corrosion-resistant wire that will support the specimen weight.This surface tension on the wire and the elimination of small air bubbleson th
49、e surface of the specimen can be reduced by the addition of a fewdrops of wetting agent to the water in the weighing beaker.14. Immersion Test14.1 Nature of Test For determination of the changes inphysical properties after liquid immersion, the definitions,standard test liquid descriptions, and general technique shall bein accordance with Test Method D 471. The detailed procedurefor O-rings, outlined in this section however, shall takeprecedence in case of conflict.14.2 Apparatus:14.2.1 The apparatus specified in Test Method D 47
