Evenly distribute the test pieces upon this first layer of grease and carefully apply another layer approximately 4 mm thick. 3. Constr
7、uct successive layers as needed. When evaluating a material for stress-strain, hardness, tear, and volume changes, three layers of elastomeric specimens with a final layer of grease will require the entire depth of the petri dish. Evaluate only one polymer per ageing assembly. 4. Place the assembly
