Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - Determination of stress relaxation in compression - Part 2: Testing with temperature cycling - First Edition
 N 3384-2

Annotation

This part of ISO 3384 specifies two methods for determining the decrease in counterforce exerted by a test piece of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber which has been compressed to a constant deformation and then undergoes temperature cycling.

Method A: The temperature is cycled at intervals between a high temperature for ageing and a low temperature for checking the sealing force at this low temperature.

Method B: The temperature is cycled continuously between a high temperature and a low temperature to introduce thermal stress in the test piece.

The counterforce is determined by means of a continuous-measurement system.

Two forms of test piece are permitted: cylindrical test pieces and rings. Different shapes and sizes of test piece give different results, and comparison of results should be limited to test pieces of similar size and shape.

The use of ring test pieces is particularly suitable for the determination of stress relaxation in liquid environments.
