Summary of
6、Test Method4.1 The test method starts with a piece taken from thesample and includes: (1) the preparation of the specimen and(2) measurement of the elongation of the specimen subjected toa prescribed stress for a specified period of time. The stress isapplied by suspension of a known mass which, und
7、er gravity,gives the desired stress.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for determining the variabilityin material and the influence of parameters affecting thestress-strain properties of rubber vulcanizates, for example,temperature, relative humidity, preconditioning of rubber, an
8、dso forth. This test method is particularly useful for theevaluation of compounding materials used for reference pur-poses.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachineTests shall be made on a power-driven machine complying with the following requirements:The machine shall be capable of extending the specimen at
9、auniform speed of between 75 and 90 mm/s (15 and 18 ft/min)until the mass is freely suspended. It shall be equipped with atiming device that automatically starts the instant the mass isfreely suspended by the specimen and signals the operatorwhen the elongation is to be measured. The machine shall h
10、avea millimetre scale and an indicating device so that elongationmeasurements to the nearest millimetre can be made withoutparallax. A holder shall be attached to the lower grip so thatmasses may be added, preferably by an automatic device, toobtain the desired stress. The masses shall correspond to
11、multiples of the force required for 0.01-mm thickness of thespecimen and shall be accurate within the force required for0.002-mm thickness of the specimen. The grips that hold thespecimen in the tester shall be of a type that tightens automati-cally as the applied tension increases and exerts a unif
12、ormpressure across the gripping surfaces. A satisfactory tester,including die and thickness gage, is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 DieThe die shall be capable of cutting straight speci-mens with parallel sides, approximately 150 mm (6 in.) longand within 60.02 mm (60.001 in.) of the specified width forthe spe
13、cimens (see 7.1) at any point along their length. Asuitable die is shown in Fig. 2. This die consists of six strips ofrazor-blade steel, sharpened on one edge, and clamped in arigid mounting. The blades are approximately 150 mm (6 in.)long, 19 mm (0.75 in.) wide, and 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) thick;they a
14、re clamped rigidly between metal spacers to produce thedesired width of specimen and project approximately 3 mm(0.12 in.) above the spacers. The blades can easily be replacedwhen they become dull or nicked.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D11 on Rubberand is the direct r

17、he bench marker shall have twoparallel knife edges that are ground smooth and true, and thatare between 0.05 and 0.08 mm (0.002 and 0.003 in.) in widthat the edge and beveled at an angle of not more than 15. Thedistances between the centers of the knife edges shall be 100 60.10 mm (3.937 6 0.004 in.
18、). A suitable bench marker isshown in Fig. 3.6.4 Stamp PadThe stamp pad shall have a plane unyield-ing surface such as hardwood, plate glass, or plastic coveredwith a pad containing ink of the desired color and quality formarking the specimen. The ink shall have no deterioratingeffect on the specime
19、n and shall be of a contrasting color to thatof the specimen.6.5 Thickness GageThe thickness gage shall measure theaverage thickness of the specimen between bench marksaccurately to 0.01 mm under a pressure of 22 6 5 kPa (3.2 60.7 psi). It shall be equipped with a dial indicator having0.01-mm gradua
20、tions, where one revolution of the dial corre-sponds to 1 mm, and the total range is 2.5 mm. The indicatorshall be mounted above a specially constructed base equippedwith a pressure bar 100 mm long and slightly wider than thespecimen. The pressure bar is pressed upon the surface of thespecimen by me
21、ans of an adjustable spring. The bar is attachedto a ball joint that possesses sufficient freedom of movement topermit the dial gage to indicate the average thickness of thespecimen. A schematic diagram of the gage is shown in Fig. 4.When the knurled disk, D, is turned so that the handle, H, restsag
22、ainst the pin, P, the notch, N, in the rod, R, is at the top,allowing the spring to pull the pressure bar against thespecimen.6.6 Cutting SupportThe cutting surface shall be a smooth,slightly yielding surface for supporting a portion of the testpiece from which the specimen is to be cut so that the
23、blade ofthe die is not damaged during the cutting of the specimen. It isrecommended that the cutting support have three parts: (1)asolid foundation, such as hardwood or plate glass; (2)asemihard pad such as vinyl plastic or Masonite;3and (3)asmooth cutting surface such as rubber belting, leather bel
24、ting,or light cardboard.7. Test Specimens7.1 Preparation of SpecimenIf the material is too thick orhas an uneven surface that may interfere with the test, thematerial shall be buffed and prepared as described in PracticesD3182 and D3183. The portion of the test piece from which thespecimen is to be
25、taken shall be buffed in a strip form beforecutting with the die. The width of the specimen depends uponthe testing machine used.NOTE 1Example: For machines supplied with masses in incrementsof 0.01 lb for each 0.01-mm thickness of specimen, the width of thespecimen shall be 8.90 6 0.02 mm (0.357 6
26、0.001 in.) when the stress isa multiple of 0.5 kPa and shall be 6.45 6 0.02 mm (0.254 6 0.001 in.)when the stress is a multiple of 100 psi. This dimension permits thefollowing combinations of stresses to be applied with the four sets ofmasses supplied with these machines:Mass Set Stress, MPa Specime
27、n Width, mmA 0.25 8.90B 0.50 8.90C 1.00 8.90D 2.00 8.90Similarly, masses in increments of 5 g for each 0.01 mm of specimenthickness give stresses in multiples of 0.5 MPa when the specimen widthis 9.80 6 0.02 mm.7.2 Cutting SpecimensThe specimen shall be cut with asingle stroke of the die, if possibl
28、e, so as to obtain smooth-cutsurfaces. To facilitate cutting, the edges of the die may belubricated with water containing a wetting agent and a corro-sion inhibitor such as 0.5 % sodium chromate or with siliconemold release emulsion before each specimen is cut. Benchmarks 100.0 6 0.1 mm apart shall
29、be placed on the straightuniform section of the specimen perpendicular to the longitu-dinal axis by means of the bench marker and ink. The specimenshall be free of mechanical damage.7.3 Measuring SpecimensThe average thickness of thespecimen between bench marks shall be determined to thenearest 0.01
30、 mm by means of the thickness gage as describedin 6.5. The width of the specimen shall be taken as the distancebetween the cutting edges of the blades of the die. Thecross-sectional area of the specimen shall be calculated bymultiplying the width by the thickness of the specimen.3Masonite is a regis

Conditionspecimens for at least 3 h. Where this temperature conditioncannot be adhered to, the report shall i
32、nclude a statement of theactual temperature at the time of test. If the material is affectedby moisture, the specimen shall be conditioned at least 24 hbefore testing in an atmosphere in which the relative humidityis maintained at 50 6 5%.NOTE 2This standard temperature is the same as that prescribe
33、d inPractice D1349.8.2 Determination of Force to Be AppliedThe stressapplied to the specimen shall be as specified in the detailspecifications. Determine the force to be applied by multiply-ing the specified stress by the cross-sectional area. Whenspecimens of the proper width are used in machines e
34、quippedwith an automatic device for adding the masses, measure onlythe thickness of the specimen to apply the proper masses.Apply the masses to the holder attached to the lower grip.8.3 Measurement of ElongationPlace the specimen in thegrips of the testing machine with the bench marks facing theoper
35、ator. Extend the specimen at a uniform speed of between75 and 90 mm/s (15 and 18 ft/min) until the masses on thelower grip are freely suspended. Measure the distance betweenthe bench marks 60 6 3 s after the masses are freelysuspended, and record the value to the nearest 1 mm.9. Calculations9.1 Calc
36、ulate the elongation on the specimen as follows:Elongation, % 5 E 2 100 (1)FIG. 2 Die for Cutting SpecimensFIG. 3 Bench MarkerD1456 86 (2010)3where:E = the length in millimetres between bench marks whenthe specimen is under stress.NOTE 3If a millimetre scale is used, with the zero at 100 mm from the
37、index for the upper bench mark, the elongation is then given directly onthe scale at the index for the lower bench mark.10. Characteristics of Piece Tested10.1 The median of the values for three specimens shall betaken as the characteristics of the piece of rubber tested, exceptthat under the follow
38、ing conditions the median of the values forfive specimens shall be used:10.1.1 If one or more values do not meet the specifiedrequirements when testing for compliance with specificationsand10.1.2 If referee tests are being made.11.
