Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic. Determination of compression stress-strain properties. | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This document specifies methods for the determination of the compression stress-strain properties of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using a standard test piece, a product or a part of a product. Four procedures are given:

• — using standard test piece A with the metal plates lubricated (method A);
• — using standard test piece A with the metal plates bonded to the test piece (method B);
• — using standard test piece B (method C);
• — using a product or a part of a product with the metal plates lubricated (method D).

The methods are not suitable for materials that exhibit high set.
