16、vedBS ISO 11346:2014ISO 11346:2014(E)IntroductionThe rate of a chemical reaction normally increases with increase in temperature. By exposing test pieces to a series of elevated temperatures, the relation between the reaction rate of degradative mechanisms and temperature can be deduced. Estimates c
17、an then be made by extrapolation of the degree of degradation after a given time at a given temperature or the time at a given temperature to reach a given degree of degradation.The reaction rate/temperature relationship can often be represented by the Arrhenius equation. The reaction rate at any gi
18、ven temperature is obtained from the change in the value of a selected property with exposure time at that temperature. The reaction rate can be represented by the time to a particular degree of degradation (threshold value) and this might be the only measure to use if the property/temperature relat
19、ion is complex.The Arrhenius approach is only suitable for chemical degradation reactions and might give wrong results for tests where physical (viscoelastic) changes cannot easily be separated from chemical changes.An alternative approach for rubbers is to use the Williams Landel Ferry (WLF) equati
20、on. This equation performs a time/temperature transformation and no assumptions are made as to the form of the property/time relation at any temperature. Hence, in principle, it can be applied to any physical property, including set and relaxation, or where the property/time relation is complex. Fur
21、ther explanation of the use of the WLF equation can be found in the literature.1During the preparation of this International Standard, account was taken of the contents of ISO 25782and IEC 60216.3 ISO 2014 All rights reserved vBS ISO 11346:2014ISO 11346:2014 (E)BS ISO 11346:2014Rubber, vulcanized or
22、 thermoplastic Estimation of life-time and maximum temperature of use1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the principles and procedures for estimating the thermal endurance of rubbers from the results of exposure to elevated temperatures for long periods.Two approaches are specified (see Int
23、roduction): one using the Arrhenius relation; the other using the WLF equation.In this International Standard, the estimation of thermal endurance is based solely on the change in selected properties resulting from periods of exposure to elevated temperatures. The various properties of rubbers chang
24、e at different rates on thermal ageing, hence comparisons between different rubbers can only be made using the same properties.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

30、thmically as a function of the reciprocal of temperature and the straight line obtained is extrapolated back or interpolated to the temperature of use.For the WLF procedure, the shift constants are calculated and used to transpose the property/time relation to the temperature of use.5 Selection of t
31、ests and ageing ovenThe tests chosen should preferably relate to properties which are likely to be of significance in practice. Wherever possible, use shall be made of methods of test specified in International Standards.For general evaluations, hardness, and tensile stress-strain properties are com
32、monly used, but stress relaxation or set in compression, for example, is desirable for sealing applications.For the ageing of test pieces, a circulating-air oven meeting the requirements of ISO 188 shall be used.6 Selection of threshold valueThe threshold value shall be chosen as the degree of degra
33、dation that is the maximum acceptable for the property being tested and the end use. Commonly, 50 % of the initial value of the property is chosen.The test should normally be continued for a long enough period for the threshold value to be reached. Although it is possible to extrapolate to greater d
34、egrees of degradation, this is not recommended.7 Test pieces7.1 The dimensions and method of preparation of the test pieces shall be in accordance with the relevant test method standard.7.2 The minimum total number, n, of test pieces required for a destructive test method depends on: the number of t
35、est pieces, a, required for a single test in accordance with the test method standard; the number of different ageing periods, b, necessary to obtain the property/time relationship at any one exposure temperature; the number of exposure temperatures, c.The minimum number of test pieces required is g
36、iven in Formula (1):nabc a=+ (1)It is recommended that additional test pieces are aged at each temperature in case problems occur after several weeks, months or years of ageing, or an extra exposure temperature is required to improve precision.The minimum number of test pieces required for a non-des
37、tructive test method is normally given in Formula (2):nac= (2)When measuring compression set, tension set, and relaxation, the tests are preferably done on the same test pieces, at the different times, to reduce the number of test pieces needed. This also reduces variations in the test results.2 ISO
38、 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 11346:2014ISO 11346:2014(E)It might be necessary, in addition, to carry out trial runs to determine the exposure temperatures and the number of test points required at each temperature.NOTE While it is possible to reduce the number of test pieces for each test from th
39、at given in the test method standard to economize on testing, extrapolation of the results requires the best possible precision and in some circumstances it might be advisable to increase the number of test pieces.8 Exposure temperaturesSelection of the exposure temperatures involves knowing beforeh
40、and the approximate ageing characteristics of the material under test. With no previous knowledge of the material, exploratory tests will have to be carried out. This information will assist in selecting the exposure temperatures best suited for the evaluation of the material.Test pieces shall be ag
41、ed at not fewer than three temperatures covering a range adequate to establish the life-time estimation by extrapolation with the required degree of accuracy. The lowest exposure temperature shall be chosen so that the time taken to reach the threshold value is at least 1 000 h. Likewise, the highes
42、t temperature shall be chosen so that the time taken to reach the threshold value is not shorter than 100 h. The temperatures used should preferably be standard test temperatures taken from ISO 23529.NOTE To obtain an estimate of the life-time with adequate precision will often require more than thr
43、ee test temperatures.9 Exposure timesThe properties chosen to measure the reaction rate shall be tested after each of at least five different exposure times at each temperature, but more exposure times will normally be needed if the shape of the property/time curve is to be established.The exposure
44、times shall be such as to enable the property chosen to measure the reaction rate to be characterized adequately. For thermo-oxidative ageing, a linear progression will be satisfactory in many cases. For physical relaxation, a logarithmic progression would be more appropriate. The requirements conce
45、rning minimum exposure times in Clause 8 shall be respected.10 ProcedureMeasure the selected properties using unaged sets of test pieces conditioned as required by the relevant test method standards.Place the required number of test pieces in each of the ovens maintained at the selected temperatures
46、.At the end of each exposure time, condition the test pieces to be examined as required by the relevant test method standard and measure the selected properties.Continue this procedure until the required number of sets of test pieces have been tested.

48、age the reaction has reached is given by the relation in Formula (4):Ft KT tx() ()= (4)whereFx(t) is a function describing the stage, x, the reaction has reached;t is the reaction time (min).There will be different reaction rates, K(T), corresponding to different temperatures, T.For each exposure te
49、mperature, plot the results for each property against time. For each plot, determine the reaction rate.Often, a convenient measure of the reaction rate is the time for the property to reach the threshold value, determined by interpolation as illustrated in Figure 1.NOTE The ideal measure of the reaction rate would be the slope of the property-time plot, but this is rarely linear i.e. Fx(t) is rarely linear. It might be possible to fit a convenient relationship to the data or to obtain a convenient plot by plotting on a logarithmic
