Scope1.1 These test methods describe how capillary rheometrymay be used to measure the rheological characte

3、ristics ofrubber (raw or compounded). Two methods are addressed:Method Ausing a piston type capillary rheometer, andMethod Busing a screw extrusion type capillary rheometer.The two methods have important differences, as outlined in 710and 1114, respectively.1.2 These test methods cover the use of a

4、capillary rheom-eter for the measurement of the flow properties of thermoplas-tic elastomers, unvulcanized rubber, and rubber compounds.These material properties are related to factory processing.1.3 Since piston type capillary rheometers impart only asmall amount of shearing energy to the sample, t

5、hese measure-ments directly relate to the state of the compound at the time ofsampling. Piston type capillary rheometer measurements willusually differ from measurements with a screw extrusion typerheometer, which imparts shearing energy just before therheological measurement.1.4 Capillary rheometer

By selecting a die diameter and controlling thevolumetric flow rate (Q) through the die, a specific level ofapparent shear rate may be achieved. Alternately, the shearstress (die entrance pressure, P) may be controlled, and theapparent s

The viscosity is generallyannotated with the sh

Simple liquids such as rubberextender oils are Newtonian; most polymeric materials are not.3.1.9 power law fluida fluid material for which the vis-cosity varies with the

22、shear rate in accordance with therelationship: 5 K!N(3)where:K = constant, often called consistency index, andN = a material parameter generally called the power lawindex. It is equal to 1.0 for Newtonian fluids andgenerally between 0.18 and 0.33 for compounded rub-bers or elastomers, or both, with

23、some exceptions.Most non-Newtonian fluids follow the relationship in Eq 3for at least short ranges of the shear rate variable. Eq 3 isgenerally used in its logarithmic form, as:log! 5 logK!1Nlog! (4)3.1.10 corrected shear stress (w) the shear stress at thewall of the capillary die; it is calculated

24、from the apparent shearstress by applying the Bagley correction E in Eq. 5 for energylosses at the entrance and exit of the die.3.1.10.1 DiscussionThe Bagley correction, often termed“end effect,” is normally applied as though it were an addi-tional length of capillary, in terms of an added L/D ratio

25、. TheCapillary entrance angle and geometry have great influence onthe magnitude of this correction.3.1.10.2 DiscussionSince the magnitude of the Bagleycorrection is a function of shear rate, data for this correction areobtained by using two or more dies of different lengths butpreferably of the same

26、 diameter and volumetric flow rate (andthus the same apparent shear rate). If the data from theseadditional dies are compared, either graphically ormathematically, a linear relationship of extrusion pressure withdie geometry is usually obtained, of the following form:P 5 cFLD1EG(5)where:c = slope of

27、 the line, andE = Bagley correction, expressed as the negative capillarylength to diameter (L/D) ratio resulting from extrapolat-ing the pressure value to zero when plotted against L/D.Both c and E values are functions of the rubber compound,the shear rate and the capillary entrance angle.Corrected

29、r rate (w)shear rate at the wall ofthe capillary die determined by applying the Rabinowitschcorrection for non-Newtonian materials.3.1.11.1 DiscussionThe Rabinowitsch correction math-ematically adjusts shear rate values for the fact that the fluid isnon-Newtonian, using the power law fluid model (Eq

30、 3). Toobtain the corrected shear rate, at least two measurements ofapparent shear stress and apparent shear rate are made,generally by increasing the volumetric flow rate (Q) with thesame measuring capillary. The Bagley correction is made to theshear stress values; either by algebraic means if only

31、 twomeasurements are made, or by a regression equation for agreater number of points. Eq 3 may be solved for N, where Nis designated as N, using corrected shear stress (w) values andthe corresponding apparent shear rate avalues. Although intheory, N calculated from Eq 3 using apparent shear stress (

32、a)and apparent shear rate avalues and N calculated from Eq 3using corrected shear stress (w) and apparent shear rate avalues should be identical, their values may vary as the BagleyD5099 08 (2017)2correction (E ) varies, hence the designation of Nin(Eq 8).The corrected shear rate wis:w5 aF3N114NG(8)

33、For most rubbers or elastomers the correction factor forshear rate is typically between 1.5 and 2.1, with some excep-tions.3.1.12 corrected viscosity (w) the ratio of corrected shearstress to corrected shear rate.3.1.12.1 DiscussionSince the corrections used, as well asthe material properties, are f

Significance and Use4.1 These test methods are useful for characterization ofraw, or compounded, unvulcanized rubber in terms ofviscosity, or resistance to flow.4.2 The data produced by these test methods have beenfou

36、nd useful for both quality control tests and compounddevelopment. However, direct correlation with factory condi-tions is not implied.4.3 Flow performance data permits quality control of in-coming raw rubbers because the flow parameters are sensitiveto molecular weight and to molecular weight distri

37、bution.Therefore, these test methods may distinguish differencesbetween lots.4.4 The shear viscosity or flow viscosity of compoundedrubber batches in the raw (unvulcanized) state will not only besensitive to the raw polymer molecular properties, but will alsobe affected by type and amount of filler,

38、 plasticizer or softenerlevels, amount and type of copolymer blend, and other com-pounding materials. These test methods can serve as a qualitycontrol tool for either incoming custom mixed compounds orfor in-house quality assurance checks on production mixing.These test methods are useful for resear

39、ch and development ofnew products by measuring the rheological effect on a rubbercompound of new polymers, resins, softeners, etc.5. Interferences5.1 Since flow properties of these non-Newtonian fluids arenot linear, capillary rheometers should be operated at condi-tions of flow (temperature, pressu

40、re, and rate) similar to that ofselected commercial processes. These processes includemixing, calendering, extrusion, and molding of rubber com-pounds.5.2 Piston type capillary rheometers impart only very smallamounts of shear or mixing energy before the measurement ismade. Consequently, the measure

41、ment relates to the state of thepolymer or compound at the time the sample was taken. If it isdesirable to relate directly to a down-stream process involvingsignificant amounts of mixing energy, it is sometimes desirableto shear the polymer on a roll mill before the rheologicalmeasurement is made.5.

42、3 Screw extrusion type capillary rheometers impart sig-nificant amounts of energy to the rubber compound before themeasurement is made. Interpretation of the data for factoryoperations such as extrusion, calendering, or injection moldingis therefore more straightforward than for compression mold-ing

43、 operations, where factory work input is quite small.6. Sampling and Conditioning of Samples6.1 Condition the sample obtained in accordance withPractice D1485 or D3896 until it has reached room temperature(23 6 3C (73 6 5F) throughout.6.2 Massed SpecimenPrepare a massed specimen, as in6.2.1, only if

44、 indicated in Table 1. Massing is used to combinethe rubber crumbs, homogenize the specimen, and extracttrapped air.6.2.1 Pass 250 6 5 g of the sample between the rolls of thestandard laboratory mill (described in Practice D3182) havinga roll temperature of 50 6 5C (122 6 9F) and having adistance be

45、tween the rolls of 1.4 6 0.1 mm (0.055 6 0.005 in.)as determined by a lead slug. Immediately fold the specimen inhalf and insert the folded end into the mill for a second pass.Repeat this procedure until a total of nine passes have beencompleted. Open the mill rolls to 3 6 0.1 mm (0.125 6 0.005in.),

46、 fold the specimen in half, and pass it between the rollsonce. Do not allow the specimen to rest between passes or toband on the mill rolls at any time.6.3 Conditioning must be carefully controlled. Piston typerheometers impart very little shear energy; therefore, anystructure that is formed on rest

47、ing of the sample is still presentwhen that sample reaches the die. Although screw-type rhe-ometers do impart shear work during processing, it is importantto standardize the amount of mill mastication prior to feedingto the extruder. Some compounds, especially silica filled ones,may reform bonds wit
