Summary of Test Method3.1 Resilience is determined as the ratio of rebound heightto drop height of a metal plunger of prescribed mass and
9、shapewhich is allowed to fall on the rubber specimen.4. Significance and Use4.1 Resilience is a function of both dynamic modulus andinternal friction of a rubber. It is very sensitive to temperaturechanges and to depth of penetration of the plunger. Conse-quently, resilience values from one type of
10、rebound instrumentmay not, in general, be predicted from results on another typeof rebound instrument.4.2 This test method is used for development and compari-son of materials. It may not directly relate to end-use perfor-mance.5. Apparatus5.1 A diagram of the essential features and dimensions ofthe
11、 apparatus appears in Fig. 1. It includes means for suspend-ing a plunger at a given height above the specimen, its release,and measuring the subsequent rebound height.5.1.1 Each resilience instrument shall have a unique identi-fication number assigned and permanently and visibly im-printed or affix

Itsmass shall be 28 6 0.5 g.5.3 The height of the drop point and of the resilience scaleabove the base of the instrument shall be adjustable so that
16、thedrop height is always 400 6 1mm(166 0.04 in.) above thespecimen surface. The resilience scale shall be marked in 100equally spaced divisions.5.3.1 The top of the plunger should be in line with 100 onthe scale when the plunger is locked in the elevated position.Some models of the apparatus do not
17、meet this requirement,but may be modified to do so.5.4 The descent of the plunger and its ensuing ascent(rebound) is guided by a vertical rod (plunger guide). In orderto minimize friction between the plunger and the vertical rod,a means shall be provided for leveling the base of theinstrument and ad
18、justing the perpendicularity of the verticalrod to the instrument base.5.4.1 The bottom of the vertical rod shall havea4mmdiameter sharp point formed by a 60 angle, to secure thelocation of the bottommost end of the vertical rod. This pointshould indent the test specimen, providing a secure location
19、 forthe free end of the guide rod.5.4.2 The plunger shall be allowed to rest at the lowest pointof travel and act as a guide to position the rod in the center ofthe stabilizer, as is visually practical under 103 magnification,as it is lowered onto the test specimen.5.5 An opaque shield may be mounte
20、d between the operatorand the plunger scale to be used for pass-fail test determina-tions. In use, the shield is adjusted so that its upper edge (orcentral-most graduation within a range) is even with thedesired test determination. If the top of the rebounding plungeris visible above the shield (or
21、within graduations demarcatinga predetermined range of acceptability), the specimen passes.6. Test Specimen6.1 Mixing, sheeting, and curing shall be performed inaccordance with Practices D 3182 and D 3183, unless other-wise specified.FIG. 1 Vertical Rebound ApparatusD 2632 0126.2 The standard test s
22、pecimen shall have a thickness of12.5 6 0.5 mm (0.50 6 0.02 in.). The specimen shall be cutfrom a slab or specifically molded so that the point of plungerimpact is a minimum distance of 14 mm (0.55 in.) from theedge of the specimen.6.2.1 Any variation from the standard test specimen shall bereported
23、 (see 11.3).6.3 Alternative specimens may be prepared by plyingsamples cut from a standard test slab. These samples shall beplied, without cementing, to the thickness required. Such pliesshall be smooth, flat, and of uniform thickness. The resultsobtained with these specimens will not necessarily be
24、 identicalwith those obtained using a solid specimen of the samematerial and state of cure.6.3.1 A thin specimen reaches a higher state of cure at agiven time and temperature of cure than does a thickerspecimen. Therefore, if plied specimens are used, their curetime should be appropriately lower tha
25、n that of unpliedspecimens used for comparison.6.4 Specimens may be prepared from finished products bycutting and buffing to the required dimensions, making surethat the opposing faces are parallel and that grain direction,where applicable, is uniform.6.4.1 When buffing is required, it is recommende
26、d that onlyone side be buffed and the unbuffed side tested or, if both sidesmust be buffed, comparisons should not be made betweenbuffed and unbuffed specimens.7.

Lock it in this position.9.3 Release the plunger, ensuring that it slides freely on thevertical rod (plunger guide) (see 5.3.1).9.3.1 Lateral force or impact on the guide rod may result inthe hindrance of t
45、he descent of the plunger. Do not lubricateany part of the instrument. Always keep a standard testspecimen under the stabilizer when not in use to avoid damageto the plunger.9.4 Test three specimens from the same sample, making sixtest determinations on each specimen. Refer to TerminologyD 1566 for
46、definitions of specimen and sample and to PracticeD 4483 for definitions of determinations and results.9.4.1 Do not reposition the specimen once the initial testdetermination has been made.9.4.2 Do not record the first three test determinations, asthese condition and stabilize the specimen.9.4.3 Rec

Calculations10.1 The instrument scale is divided into 100 equal parts,therefore a test determination is equal to the resilience value inpercent.10.2 Average the 4th, 5th, and 6th test determinations (see9.4.3) from a specimen to calculate the test result fr
48、om thespecimen.10.3 Average or alternatively, determine the median, the testresults from the three specimens to the nearest whole number.This whole number is the resilience value of the sample.
