3、nt of Defense.e1NOTETable 6 editorially corrected in May 2007.1. Scope1.1 This classification system covers the properties of vul-canized rubber materials (natural rubber, reclaimed rubber,synthetic rubbers, alone or in combination) that are intendedfor, but not limited to, use in rubber products fo
4、r automotiveapplications.NOTE 1This classification system may serve many of the needs ofother industries in much the same manner as SAE numbered steels. It mustbe remembered, however, that this system is subject to revision whenrequired by automotive needs. It is recommended that the latest revision
5、always be used.1.2 This classification system is based on the premise thatthe properties of all rubber products can be arranged intocharacteristic material designations. These designations aredetermined by types, based on resistance to heat aging, andclasses, based on resistance to swelling in oil.
6、Basic levels arethus established which, together with values describing addi-tional requirements, permit complete description of the qualityof all elastomeric materials.1.3 In all cases where the provisions of this classificationsystem would conflict with those of the detailed specificationsfor a pa
7、rticular product, the latter shall take precedence.NOTE 2When the rubber product is to be used for purposes where therequirements are too specific to be completely prescribed by this classi-fication system, it is necessary for the purchaser to consult the supplier inadvance, to establish the appropr
8、iate properties, test methods, and speci-fication test limits.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.2.

Purpose3.1 The purpose
16、 of this classification system is to provideguidance to the engineer in the selection of practical, commer-cially available rubber materials, and further to provide amethod for specifying these materials by the use of a simple“line call-out” designation.3.2 This classification system was developed t
17、o permit theaddition of descriptive values for future rubber materialswithout complete reorganization of the classification systemand to facilitate the incorporation of future new test methods tokeep pace with changing industry requirements.4. Type and Class4.1 The prefix letter “M” shall be used to
18、 indicate that theclassification system is based on SI units.NOTE 3Call outs not prefixed by the letter M refer to an earlierclassification system based on inch-pound units. This was published ineditions up to 1980.4.2 Rubber materials shall be designated on the basis of type(heat resistance) and cl
19、ass (oil resistance). Type and class areindicated by letter designations as shown in Table 1 and Table2 and illustrated in 9.1.4.3 Type is based on changes in tensile strength of not morethan 630 %, elongation of not more than 50 %, and hard-ness of not more than 615 points after heat aging for 70 h
20、 atan appropriate temperature. The temperatures at which thesematerials shall be tested for determining type are listed in Table1.4.4 Class is based on the resistance of the material toswelling in IRM 903 Oil (most tables were originally devel-oped using ASTM Oil No. 3) after 70-h immersion at atemp
21、erature determined from Table 1, except that a maximumtemperature of 150C (the upper limit of oil stability) shall beused. Limits of swelling for each class are shown in Table 2.4.4.1 ASTM No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 Oils have beenreplaced by IRM 901, 902, and 903 Oils, respectively, underPractice D 596
22、4. These oils are similar but not identical toASTM No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 Oils.TABLE 1 Basic Requirements for Establishing Type byTemperatureType Test Temperature, CA70B 100C 125D 150E 175F 200G 225H 250J 275K 300TABLE 2 Basic Requirements for Establishing Class by VolumeSwellClass Volume Swell, ma

26、124.4.2 Substitutability of IRM 901, 902, and 903 Oils forASTM No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 Oils has not been established,as their swelling characteristics are different and may affectcompound classification.NOTE 4The selection of type based on heat resistance is understood tobe indicative of the inheren
27、t heat resistance that can be normally expectedfrom commercial compositions. Likewise, choice of class is based on therange of volume swell normally expected from such commercial compo-sitions as established by type. The fact that a type and class of material islisted in Table 6, under Basic Require
28、ments, indicates that materials thatmeet these requirements for heat and oil resistance are commerciallyavailable.4.5 The letter designations shall always be followed by athree-digit number to specify the hardness and the tensilestrengthfor example, 505. The first digit indicates durometerhardness,
29、Type A, for example, 5 for 50 6 5, 6 for 60 6 5. Thenext two digits indicate the minimum tensile strengthforexample, 05 for 5 MPa, 14 for 14 MPa. Correlation ofavailable materials for desired hardness and tensile strength isobtained through the elongation values in Table 6. See 7.2.5. Grade Numbers,
30、 Suffix Letters, and Number5.1 Grade NumbersSince the basic requirements do notalways describe sufficiently all the necessary qualities, provi-sion is made for deviation or adding requirements through asystem of prefix grade numbers. Grade No. 1 indicates thatonly the basic requirements are compulso
31、ry, and no suffixrequirements are permitted. Grades other than No. 1 are usedfor expressing deviation or additional requirements and arelisted as “Available Suffix Grade Numbers” in the last columnunder Basic Requirements in Table 6. A grade number iswritten as a material prefix number preceding the
32、 letters fortype and class (see 9.1). Grade No. 1 is always an availablesuffix grade number, and thus is not referenced in the lastcolumn of each basic requirement table.5.2 Suffx LettersThe suffix letters that may be used,together with their meaning, appear in Table 3.5.3 Suffx NumbersEach suffix l
33、etter should preferably befollowed by two suffix numbers (see Note 6 in 8.1). The firstsuffx number always indicates the test method; time of test ispart of the method and is taken from the listings in Table 5. Thesecond suffx number, if used, always indicates the temperatureof test and is taken fro
34、m Table 4. Where three-digit numbersare required, they are separated by a dashfor example: 10;B410; F111.6. Composition and Manufacture6.1 This classification system is predicated upon materialsfurnished under a specification based thereon being manufac-tured from natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, s
35、ynthetic rubber,alone or in combination, together with added compoundingingredients of such nature and quantity as to produce vulcani-zates that comply with the specified requirements.All materialsand workmanship shall be in accordance with good commer-cial practice, and the resulting product shall
36、be free of porousareas, weak sections, bubbles, foreign matter, or other defectsaffecting serviceability.6.2 ColorWith the exception of FC, FE, FK, and GEmaterials, the values in the material tables are based on blackcompounds and comparable values may not be available incolor.7. Basic Requirements7
37、.1 The basic requirements for physical properties specifiedin Table 63are based on values obtained from standardlaboratory test specimens prepared and tested in accordancewith the applicable ASTM test methods. Test results fromspecimens prepared from finished products may not duplicatevalues obtaine
38、d from standard test specimens.NOTE 5When standard test specimens are cut from finished parts inaccordance with Practice D 3183, a deviation to the extent of 10 % (ontensile strength and elongation values only) is permissible when agreedupon by the purchaser and the supplier. This deviation is permi
39、ssible onlybecause of the recognized effects of knitting, grain, and buffing on thematerial when test specimens are prepared from finished parts and testedfor tensile strength and elongation. When differences due to the method ofprocessing or to the difficulty in obtaining suitable test specimens fr
40、om thefinished part arise, the purchaser and the supplier may agree on acceptabledeviations. This can be done by comparing results of standard testspecimens with those obtained on actual parts.7.2 The available materials are listed in the appropriatematerial section of the table, giving each hardnes
41、s and tensilestrength with its appropriate elongation value. Also, there is arepetition of the values for the basic heat and oil agingrequirements for the material resulting from the assignment oftype and class. In addition, values for compression set, nor-mally a basic requirement to ensure proper
42、vulcanization, arespecified.7.3 Unless a suffix requirement is used to override anexisting basic requirement, the basic requirement applies.TABLE 5 ASTM Test MethodsBasic Requirementsand First Suffix No.Basic 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Requirement orSuffix LetterTensile Strength,ElongationD 412,die C. . . . .
