General Mixing Procedures7.1 Mill Mixing Procedure:7.1.1 Mix compounds wi
45、th the rubber banded on the slow roll, unless otherwise specified.7.1.2 Measure the temperature of the surfaces of the rolls at a point approximately equidistant from the ends during the mixingoperation either continuously on a recorder or with a manual device having an accuracy of at least 61C (62F
46、), frequentlyenough to maintain the desired temperature. The batch may be removed momentarily from the mill to measure the surfacetemperature of the slow roll.7.1.3 Whenever 34 cuts are specified, cut the batch 34 of the distance across the roll and hold the knife at this position until thebank just
47、 disappears. Make successive 34 cuts from alternate ends of the roll, allowing 20 s between each cut unless otherwisespecified.7.1.4 Do not cut any batch while free materials are evident in the bank or on the milling surface.7.1.5 Add carbon black evenly across the mill at a uniform rate. Add all ot
48、her dry materials slowly and evenly in prescribedtimes. Oil, if required, may be added alternately with carbon black. Carefully collect materials falling through the nip from the trayand return to the mix.7.1.6 Conclude the mixing cycle by passing the rolled batch endwise through the mill six times
49、with an opening of 0.8 mm(0.031 in.), to improve the dispersion.7.1.7 Pass the batch four times through the mill at a setting of 6 mm (0.25 in.), folding it back on itself each time.D3182 1637.1.8 Weigh the batch and record the mass. If required, cut samples from the batch to allow testing of compound viscosity andprocessability in accordance withTest Methods D1646 orTest Method D6204, and vulcanization characteristics in accordance withTest Methods D2084 or D5289. If tensile stress strain tests are required, sh
