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 (methodA);
-
using standard test piece A with the metal plates bonded to the test piece (methodB);
-
using standard test piece B (methodC);
-
using a product or a part of a product with the metal plates lubricated (methodD).
The methods are not suitable for materials that exhibit high set.
