The work of preparing International Standards is n
11、ormally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part i
12、n the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular
13、the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.

19、ractice. This part of ISO 815 does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.WARNING 2 Certain procedur
20、es specified in this part of ISO 815 might involve the use or generation of substances, or the generation of waste, that could constitute a local environmental hazard. Reference should be made to appropriate documentation on safe handling and disposal after use.1 ScopeThis part of ISO 815 specifies
21、methods for the determination of the compression set characteristics of vulcanized and thermoplastic rubbers at ambient (one method) or elevated temperatures (three methods, A, B, and C, depending on the way the test piece is released at the end of the test).The methods are intended to measure the a
22、bility of rubbers of hardness within the range 10 IRHD to 95 IRHD to retain their elastic properties at specified temperatures after prolonged compression at constant strain (normally 25 %) under one of the alternative sets of conditions described. For rubber of nominal hardness 80 IRHD and above, a
23、 lower compression strain is used: 15 % for a nominal hardness from 80 IRHD to 89 IRHD and 10 % for a nominal hardness from 90 IRHD to 95 IRHD.NOTE 1 When rubber is held under compression, physical or chemical changes that prevent the rubber returning to its original dimensions after release of the
24、deforming force can occur. The result is a set, the magnitude of which depends on the time and temperature of compression as well as on the time, temperature, and conditions of recovery. At elevated temperatures, chemical changes become increasingly more important and lead to a permanent set.NOTE 2
25、Short-time compression set tests, typically for 24 h, at elevated temperatures are commonly used as a measure of the state of cure, a means of material classification, and a specification to ensure the quality of a compound. Longer tests, typically for 1 000 h, at elevated temperatures take account
26、of the effect of ageing and are often used to predict service performance, including that of sealing materials. Short-time tests at ambient temperature show mainly the effect of physical changes (re-orientation of the molecular chains and the fillers).2 Normative referencesThe following documents, i

29、ncipleA test piece of known thickness is compressed at standard laboratory temperature to a defined strain, which is then maintained constant for a specified time at standard laboratory temperature or a fixed elevated temperature. The compression is released and, after the test piece has been allowe
30、d to recover at a standard laboratory temperature or the elevated temperature for a specified time, the thickness of the test piece is again measured.4 Apparatus4.1 Compression assembly, consisting of compression plates, steel spacers, and clamping device. A typical assembly is shown in Figure 1.4.1
31、.1 Compression plates, comprising a pair of parallel, flat, highly polished chromium-plated steel or highly polished stainless-steel plates, between the faces of which the test piece is compressed.The plates shall be sufficiently rigid to ensure that, with a test piece under load, no compression pla
32、te bends by more than 0,01 mm and of sufficient size to ensure that the whole of the test piece, when compressed between the plates, remains within the area of the plates.NOTE A surface finish no worse than Ra 0,4 m (see ISO 4287) has been found to be suitable. Such an Ra can be obtained by a grindi
33、ng or polishing operation.4.1.2 Steel spacer(s), to provide the required compression.The spacer(s) shall be of such size and shape that contact with the compressed test piece is avoided.The height of the spacer(s) shall be chosen so that the compression applied to the test piece is (25 2) % for hard
34、nesses below 80 IRHD, (15 2) % for hardnesses between 80 IRHD and 89 IRHD, (10 1) % for hardnesses of 90 IRHD and higher.4.1.3 Clamping device, a simple screw device (see Figure 1) is adequate.4.2 Oven, complying with the requirements specified in ISO 188, method A or method B, and capable of mainta
35、ining the compression assembly and test pieces at the test temperature within the tolerance specified in 7.2.NOTE Test results obtained with ovens for method A can be different from those obtained with ovens for method B.The time to reach a steady-state temperature depends on the type of oven and th
36、e overall heat capacity of the compression assembly. To obtain comparable results in the case of an elevated test temperature and a 24 h test duration, it is necessary to reach the steady-state temperature within the specified tolerances in the interior of the test pieces in not more than 3 h.4.3 Pa
37、ir of tongs, for handling the test pieces.4.4 Thickness gauge, with an accuracy of 0,01 mm (see ISO 23529:2010, 7.1), having a flat circular foot of 4,0 mm 0,5 mm in diameter and a flat solid base-plate and exerting a pressure of 22 kPa 5 kPa 2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 815-1:2014ISO 815-1:
38、2014(E)for solid rubber of hardness equal to or greater than 35 IRHD, or a pressure of 10 kPa 2 kPa if the hardness is less than 35 IRHD.NOTE When using a digital gauge, a resolution of 0,001 mm is needed to obtain the required accuracy.After testing at elevated temperature, an unexpected deformatio
39、n of the test piece is sometimes observed. More particularly, the two flat surfaces can be deformed, which complicates the thickness measurement. In this case, the diameter of the gauge used to measure the thickness should be chosen carefully to allow precise measurement.4.5 Timing device, for measu

ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 815-1:2014ISO 815-1:2014(E)6 Test pieces6.1 DimensionsThe test pieces shall be one of two sizes, designated type A and type B. Type A: a cylindrical disc of diameter 29,0 mm 0,5 mm and thickness 12,5
42、mm 0,5 mm. Type B: a cylindrical disc of diameter 13,0 mm 0,5 mm and thickness 6,3 mm 0,3 mm.These two types do not necessarily give the same values for compression set, and comparison of results obtained using test pieces of different sizes shall be avoided when comparing one compound with another.
43、Type A test pieces are preferred for testing rubbers having low compression set, because of the greater accuracy attainable using these larger test pieces.Type B test pieces are preferred when it is required to cut test pieces from products. In this case, the test pieces shall be taken as near to th
44、e centre of the product as possible, unless otherwise specified. When possible, the test piece shall be cut in such a way that its axis is parallel to the direction of compression of the product in service.6.2 PreparationThe test pieces shall be prepared by moulding each disc, whenever possible. Pre
45、paration by cutting out each disc or by laminating not more than three discs is permitted. The use of test pieces prepared by laminating several discs for control of finished products shall be agreed between interested parties.Cutting shall be performed in accordance with ISO 23529. When cupping (th
46、e formation of a concave surface) is a problem, the test piece shape can be improved by cutting it in two stages: first, cut an oversize test piece, and then, trim it to the exact dimensions with a second cutter.Laminated test pieces shall conform to the dimensions specified in 6.1 and shall be prep
47、ared by laminating discs or rubber cut from sheets without adhesives. Discs can be compressed by a few percent for 1 min so that they stick together. The number of discs laminated to produce a test piece shall not exceed three. The total thickness shall then be measured.Test pieces prepared by the v
48、arious methods described above can give different results and comparison of values shall be avoided.NOTE Attention is drawn to the marked effects of the state of cure on compression set values. It might be necessary to adjust the cure of moulded test pieces to be representative of different thicknes
49、ses of sheets or mouldings.6.3 Number of test piecesA minimum of three test pieces shall be tested, separately or as a set.6.4 Time interval between production and testingFor all test purposes, the minimum time between production and testing shall be 16 h.For non-product tests, the maximum time between production and testing shall be 4 weeks and, for evaluations intended to be comparable, the tests, as far as possible, shall be carried out after the same time interval.For product tests, whenever pos
