    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Provides a range of laboratory-scale methods for the physical testing of rubber in raw, unvulcanized, vulcanized and thermoplastic forms.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of BS903 provides a general introduction to BS903 and to BS ISO standards. It describes a range of laboratory-scale methods for the physical testing of rubber in raw, unvulcanized, vulcanized and thermoplastic forms. A list of closely-related British Standards is also provided.

    NOTE The status of methods referenced need to be verified with the relevant standards body; they are continually changing as new editions are issued and new methods appear, in line with developments in technology.
