19、of Test Methods3.1 There are two methods described:3.1.1 Method ADynamic Strain (formerly Test Methods D3395):3.1.1.1 Method A, Procedure A1 Dynamic Tensile Elongation (formerly Test Methods D3395 Method A)rectangular testspecimens are subjected to dynamic maximum amplitude tensile strain of 25 6 3

20、% at a fixed frequency of 0.5 Hz (30 cpm).3.1.1.2 Method A, Procedure A2 Dynamic Belt Flex Test (formerly Test Methods D3395 Method B)rectangular test specimensare affixed to a fabric belt which is continuously rotated over two vertically opposed pulleys that induce a cyclical surface strain(due to

21、flexing) during the moments of passage over the pulleys.3.1.2 Method BStatic Strain (formerly Test Method D518):3.1.2.1 Method B, Procedure B1 Static Strain (formerly Test Method D518, Method A)rectangular specimens are exposed toa continuous elongation of 20 %.3.1.2.2 Method B, Procedure B2 Static

22、Strain Looped Specimen Test (formerly Test Method D518, Method B)rectangularspecimens are mounted, in a looped fashion, causing a continuous strain to be applied on the looped portion.3.1.2.3 Method B, Procedure B3 Static Percent Elongation Test (formerly Test Method D518, Method C)tapered specimens

23、are exposed to specified percentages of elongation (10, 15, and 20 %) during the course of exposure.3.1.2.4 Method B, Procedure B4 Static Strain Triangular Specimen (formerly Test Method D1171)triangular specimens aremounted around a wooden mandrel causing a continuous strain to be applied to the lo

Significance and Use4.1 The significance of these test methods lies in the ability to differentiate between the degrees of o

27、zone resistance under thelimited and specified conditions of the accelerated tests. The degree of resistance being judged by the appearance and magnitudeof the formation of cracks in the surface of the subject material.4.2 In service, rubber materials deteriorate when exposed to ozone. It is imperat

28、ive to have test methods in which simple,accelerated time/exposure, comparisons of the materials ability to resist cracking caused by ozone exposure can be empiricallyevaluated. Such tests can be used for producer/consumer acceptance, referee purposes, research, and development.4.3 These methods are

29、 not necessarily suited for use in purchase specifications as there may be no correlation with serviceperformance as actual service conditions (outdoor exposure) vary widely due to geographic location and, therefore, may not yieldrepeatable or reproducible results.5. Apparatus5.1 The apparatus emplo

30、yed to provide a controlled environment containing specified concentrations of ozone and partialpressures, at specified temperatures, is described in 5.2, being common to all test methods enumerated herein. The ancillaryequipment required to perform individual procedures is described in their respec

31、tive sections.5.2 Ozone Test Apparatus:D1149 1525.2.1 Test ChamberGeneral requirements for an acceptable ozone test chamber are adequate control and measurement ofozone concentration levels based upon partial pressure (refer to Note 1); volume exchange rate; temperature; internal chambercirculation

32、of the gas (airozone mixture, refer to Note 3); and internal chamber volume. An acceptable ozone test chamber maybe individually manufactured for a particular application, or a commercially manufactured chamber. The ozone test chambers shallconform to the following requirements:NOTE 3Daltons Law and

33、 the gas equation is used to express ozone content as partial pressure. The partial pressure of ozone in a mixture with air,P(O3), is given in millipascals (mPa).5.2.1.1 The internal chamber shall be constructed of a material with minimal reaction to ozone, preferably stainless steel,contained withi

34、n an integral external structure which provide unencumbered access to the mechanical, electrical, display, andcontrol devices.(1) The internal chamber shall be accessible through a door having an adequate closure mechanism and seal to prevent lossof partial pressure or adversely affect the ozone con

35、centration levels throughout the duration of a test. It is recommended that thedoor have a means by which to prevent inadvertent opening during the intended duration of a test.(2) The access door may be equipped with an observation window. This shall be of tempered glass and shall be sealed topreven

36、t loss of partial pressure or adversely affect the ozone concentration level throughout the duration of a test.(3) The internal chamber may be equipped with a source of illumination. It shall be situated in a manner so that neither thetemperature of the internal chamber, the ozone concentration leve

37、l, or partial pressure is adversely affected. Illumination is to beused in a temporary fashion, intended for intermediate viewing of the specimens. Long term use, in excess of a consecutive 5-minperiod, or more than a total of 15 min, during any given 24-h period, invalidates determinations and ther

38、efore requires monitoringand reporting.(4) The internal chamber may be equipped with shelves, or racks, on which to place specimens. They shall be constructed ofa material with minimal reaction to ozone, preferably stainless steel. They shall be of a design that minimizes the effect on theintroducti

39、on, circulation, exchange, or exhaust of the gas (airozone mixture).5.2.1.2 The internal volume of the chamber shall be no less than 0.11 m (4 ft3). The internal chamber volume may be greater,provided the prescribed levels of ozone concentration and partial pressure are maintained (refer to 5.2.1.3(

40、1) and Note 1).5.2.1.3 A means for generating, measuring, and controlling ozone concentrations levels and partial pressure shall be provided.The ozone generating source shall be isolated from the internal chamber and within the integral external structure.(1) The generation and introduction of ozone

41、 shall be by a means whereby ozone concentration levels in the internal testchamber of between 25 and 200 pphm (parts per hundred million) 6 10 % at 100 kPa (atmospheric pressure at mean sea level,MSL) and the equivalent pressures of between 25 and 200 mPa 6 10 % are maintained throughout the durati

42、on of the test (referto Notes 1 and 2).The preferred method of ozone generation being either quartz UV, corona discharge (dielectric), or a combinationof both.(2) The test chamber ozone concentration levels and pressures shall be either infinitely variable between those prescribed or,at minimum, sel

43、ectable at 25, 50, 100, 200 pphm and mPa, respectively. Broader ranges of ozone concentration and partial pressureare acceptable, provided the specified concentrations of ozone and partial pressure are maintained as specified.(3) The means of measurement of the ozone concentration shall be by any of

44、 the methods described in Test Methods D4575,with ultraviolet (UV) absorption measurement being preferred as it has been shown to be more accurate and precise.5.2.1.4 The source of air may be ambient, or from a compressed air supply. In either case, adequate filtration of particulatematter from the

45、source shall be provided. The moisture content of the air source shall be minimized, either through filtration, adesiccant, or by other means.5.2.1.5 The flow of the gases (air and ozone) shall be introduced into the chamber in a manner that prevents stratification orstagnation.5.2.1.6 The gas (airo

46、zone mixture) exchange rate shall be of a magnitude such that no appreciable reduction in ozoneconcentration or partial pressure results from the introduction of test specimens.(1) The exchange rate will vary with the gas (airozone mixture) level, temperature, number of test specimens introduced, an

47、dtheir reaction with ozone.(2) A gas (airozone mixture) exchange rate of 75 % of the total volume of the internal chamber per minute has been foundto be an acceptable and adequate rate, and shall be considered to be the minimum acceptable rate of gas exchange.(3) As indicated, this exchange rate wil

48、l vary, dependent upon the enumerated variables, and the minimum exchange rate shallbe established locally, as agreed upon between customer and supplier, or between laboratories, but shall not be less than thatdescribed in 5.2.1.6(2).5.2.1.7 A means of providing internal chamber circulation of the g

49、as (airozone mixture) shall be provided by an electric fancapable of maintaining a constant velocity throughout the duration of a test. The velocity shall be no less than 0.6 m/s (2 fts) asmeasured at 50 6 1 mm (1.97 6 0.04 in.) from the forward edge of the fan blades on the internal side of the chamber.(1) The fan motor shall not be located within the internal chamber. The fan motor shall employ an extension shaft, or drivemechanism, that isolates the motor from the internal chamber with an ozone resistant seal that assures the in
